What impressed you positively?

The facilities were state of the art and the medical center is the largest in the world. The people there are extremely passionate about their work and your success. (Both students and faculty)

What impressed you negatively?

The heat. Seriously, it's hot there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The community that UT Houston has is amazing. They were very supportive. Even current students came up to me on the tour to ask how I was doing and would almost force me to ask questions.

What are your general comments?

Both were in offices. One a researcher, the other the former Dean of Admissions. Both were laid back but they jumped right into the hard questions, making sure you knew yourself and able to display that you are balanced.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
