No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed secondary, talked to friend who is third year.

What impressed you positively?

The Academic Classroom building and several of the other buildings are new and impressive. The faculty is working to improve their curriculum and everyone is relaxed and easy-going.

What impressed you negatively?

Three campuses for the 3rd and 4th years is unattractive. 2/3 of the class has to move from Lubbock after the 2nd year.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They appear to have a great MD/MBA program that can be completed through Texas Tech in 4 years total.

What are your general comments?

As expected they started late. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by their new facilities and very professional and progressive presentation. The facilities looked extremely nice and we even toured the Anatomy lab. Interacting with current students at lunch and during a student panel gave me a better feel for what the education there was like. Everyone seemed relaxed and laid-back, perhaps a little too much so. Lubbock isn't a great location for some people, but it could be a great place to go to school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
