No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN feedback, looking at school's website, talking to some friends who are students

What impressed you positively?

Sounds like students are very happy here, no competition at all. The administration seems to be very responsive to student requests/complaints; both Dr. Jones' went out of their way to get to know me and make me feel welcome. Also, there seems to be amazing clinical training here that leaves students graduating with skills equivalent to a resident.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The individual Monday quizzes that we've all heard about have officially been cancelled- definitely a plus, and shows the administration is listening to student feedback.

What are your general comments?

I really enjoyed the fourth-year panel-it was great to have a chance to hear about their experiences with the school. The school definitely played up the clinical training opportunity in Harlingen which sounds awesome. I think it's awesome that the school seems to hand pick their class based on characteristics that aren't necessarily the same as other med schools.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
