💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell me something about yourself that is not in your application.
What can I tell you to convince you that ut-houston should be your number 1 choice.
What if the day comes and you get into all of the schools you applied to?

What was the most interesting question?

I was given a scenario where somehow the top five doctors' knowledge was programmed into a machine that could replace a doctor in practicing medicine. I was the chief counselor to the president who would be making the decision on whether or not to incorporate this miracle wonder into today's healthcare system. I needed to give 5 pro's and 5 con's.

What was the most difficult question?

Same as above.

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my application and read some of the interview feedback for the school.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were unmatched! The admissions people were very very very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

My tour guide didn't take us to MD Anderson and didn't quite know as much about the various facilities.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How freakin' impressive UTH really was.

What are your general comments?

I showed up that morning after struggling to find the specific parking garage. They gave us a ut-houston bag with all of the information we could possibly need. We had a little orientation meeting before the tour for those interviewing in the afternoon. It was kind of sobering, but humorous to watch a video with the song we are the world about the Katrina volunteer efforts. I was very impressed with the facilities. I had read over and over in the Baylor view book about how wonderful the Medical Center is, but the student resources for UT-H look incredible. The lunch was spectacular. We actually had fajitas (other schools should take note!). My two interviews were really laid back, but I had trouble understanding my first interviewer's thick hebrew accent! Overall, the day made me think twice about going to a different school with a possibly bigger name.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
