What impressed you positively?

Everything...the year and a half pre-clinical is something that is really awesome considering it gives you an extra 6-8 months to take whatever electives you want. Clinical doesn't seem too stressful, but what is excellent is that fact you rotate in both public and a private hospital.

What impressed you negatively?

N/A

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

medical tracks...definitely seems helpful when applying for residencies

What are your general comments?

Kind of a long day...12pm-7pm. Intro was decent, kind of useless though. the interviews were kind of laid back and very conversational. One was with a student and the other was with an MD. Everyone there seems to like what they do and are happy with the choice that they made. All the other applicants seemed a lot more competitive than me (I.E. they had a lot more ECs and life experiences than I did). After the 2 interviews, there was a curriculum overview, then residency overview, clinical tours, followed by dinner and then life in houston. The end of the day was an optional chance to hang out with med students at a bar & grill
