How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read the stuff they send, the BCM website

What impressed you positively?

Everything! Students were friendly and open, Houston is great if you're a Spanish major

What impressed you negatively?

Parking isn't that great?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No taxi drivers knew where Baylor is; if you say the Texas Medical Center, everyone knows where to go, and Baylor is right there. Maybe that sounds stupid if you're from Texas, and the TMC is kind of important but, coming from Michigan, I was completely lost.

What are your general comments?

Awesome! Everyone was laid back. They give you a copy of your AMCAS primary with the MCAT and GPAs removed; your interviewers have the same thing, so no one who interviews you will know your MCAT or GPA.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
