Filo was very nice. No one at TAMU mentioned another school in a negative way. They said "other larger medical schools" but never said a specific name. Not even students. I thought this was very professional. The financial aid presentation is really good.
What impressed you negatively?
The drive to Temple, Temple, Scott & White. One of the tour guides at College Station, Tiffany, made it clear that she did not want to be there at all. Also, there were only three female medical students that I encountered and only five minority students.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The day is really really long. Get lunch on your way to Temple, lunch there isn't good, especially if you don't eat red meat or pork.
What are your general comments?
The day is really organized. College Station seems like a nice college town. I think I would have like A&M a lot more if all four years were there as opposed to Temple. The "good ol' boy" system seems to be thriving at A&M. It seemed like every med student I met was a white male...and white men are great, but they could mix it up a little.
