Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Parkland is amazing. Would be a great clinical experience.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The students were definitely less down to earth than other TX schools. They seemed a lot less concerned about treating patients in need (poor ppl, etc), more concerned with their own interests career-wise, and one talked about making inapropriate jokes with her cadaver--such a turnoff. The overview of school seemed really stilted--stuffy--and almost political trying to make other schools look bad in comparison.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How amazing Parkland and the Children's hospital is. They have a huge train playscape through the Children's hospital. Also, Dallas has very little to offer in terms of cool neighborhoods.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Very well organized day. I learned more about the school than i had at other schools. Intro to school, followed by interviews, tours of parkland and children's, then lunch (bbq), then more info about the school and finances, then tour of student center (which is really impressive).
