✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the news a/b New Orleans, read up on the latest issues in healthcare. Talk to different doctors and ask them about healthcare issues, pros and cons of medicine, etc.

What impressed you positively?

The fact that they were almost back on their feet within a month of having their city devastated. They're also using the destruction as a means to overhaul their facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

They misplaced my application (this was before the hurricane). Fortunately I had sent it through certified mail and with return receipt so they looked for it rather than making me resend it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My interviews were held at Baylor College of Medicine, so I can't say much a/b New Orleans.

What are your general comments?

Kick ass! There are three interviews, the third one is a student who interviewed me over lunch. The student-interview was an opportunity for me to ask a/b the cirruculum & atmosphere.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
