How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback on SDN, read through my notes from med sociology class (totally unnecessary), got drilled by my good friend who used to do debate and is a fellow pre-med (best thing), got my nails done ;)

What impressed you positively?

How warm everyone was: from the admissions people to the students to the president himself!! I really felt like they genuinely loved their school, and it made me love it too. It was almost like a day long promo for UT-Houston, even my 2 interviews!

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, I'm in love.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you have to do your parking validation at this little machine thingy before approaching the gate.. I think alot of ppl had that problem

What are your general comments?

UT-Houston is the best place to have your first interview. You'll feel so at home and so special. My two interviewers were so nice. The first one talked about half the time, mostly about UT-Houston- she was a resident here and is now faculty, plus she's meds/peds which is what I want to do! So that was basically a conversation. The other was more like an interview but still very warm, as is everyone else. I love it here!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
