What impressed you positively?

Basic sciences completed in 1.5 years. Students seem very enthusiastic about this as it gives them opportunities for more electives. Extremely friendly faculty.

What impressed you negatively?

The map of the building if hard to decipher, that's pretty much the worst part of Baylor, so really they do pretty well.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Well, I was a little confused about which bldg the interview was in b/c they specify it in the interview invitation. So for those of you going there it's at One Baylor Plaza.

What are your general comments?

At first very intimidating. My first interviewer was very very serious. But at the end of the interview he finally cracked a smile and told me I gave a good interview so if it happens to you, don't stress, might just be the person's interview style. The second interviewer was also known for being serious but I didn't find that to be the case. He was pretty laid back and very nice.
