What are your general comments?
The people seem awesome. The curriculum seems awesome. I like San Antonio. I only said "no change: because my exerience (outside of my boring interviews) just validated my initial positive impressions of the school. Their emphasis on early clinical exposure and diversity was the main selling point in my mind. UT-SA is looking for well-rounded people, not the brains that do nothing but study.
