How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Tech website, read over my application.

What impressed you positively?

Lubbock is a really charming little town. Everybody is soooo nice! It's so refreshing.

What impressed you negatively?

low board scores. They try to avoid answering questions about their scores but from what I've heard they tend to be below the national average.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Lubbock is really not as bad as people make it out to be (I come from a BIG city). Keep an open mind.

What are your general comments?

I was pleasantly surprised by the school and Lubbock. They have many students there to answer questions and the students are really really nice and talkative. The morning is spent orienting you with the university and what it offers (kinda boring). The afternoon is spent at interviews, student panel, and the tour. One of the students was so nice and gave us a ride back to the airport after the day was over. I went to Lubbock with an open mind and I was pleasantly surprised. Everyone there is so polite and so nice. They say hello, offer to help you if you look lost (which I did), and always make small talk. Even one of the TSA women at the airport knew all about the med school admissions process at Tech! We were all pleasantly suprised! Go to Lubbock and give them a chance...they deserve it.
