How did you prepare for the interview?

I had a mock interview with my advisor read studentdoctor.net, and practiced answering various questions on my own

What impressed you positively?

The TMC is really impressive. It seems like its own city inside Houston. The hospitals all seemed like hotels and were big with huge resources. The UT school was nice and since the flood had alot of new things like the learning center and a new simulation lab. The staff was very nice and made the day go really smooth.

What impressed you negatively?

They cut out all the speeches about the school and most of the information about the school and area was answered by the students which wasn't that bad. Walking around in the heat before the interviews made everyone really hot and sweaty.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really, maybe bring something to keep you cool on the tours outside.

What are your general comments?

I had two interviews with a cardiologist and a pediatric plastic surgeon. Each was one on one and i think they only had my ps and my gpa and mcat score but not the list of courses i had taken.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
