What impressed you positively?
The people there were the nicest I have ever met. My second interview was well over an hour, and I was the last one to interview at 5 PM. The Assistant Dean of Admissions personally drove me back to my car (just one example). The small class size is also a big plus.
What impressed you negatively?
The split campus (Years 1 & 2 in College Station and 3 & 4 in Temple) didn't appeal to me. Wherever you are, you would be isolated from some aspect of the medical school experience.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Not to worry about the interviews.
What are your general comments?
This is a very long day, but definitely worth it. I was a little nervous going in because of what some previous posts said about the interview process and it was my first interview of the year. I found the interview extremely enjoyable and relaxing. Both interviewers made me feel at ease. The interviews were conversational, mostly, and the questions just flowed from what was said.
