What impressed you positively?
the curriculm is thorough and emphasizes clinical skills. Also, you're graded against a standard not a curve (like at other schools), so you're encouraged to help each other out. This is the way a graduate program should be!
What impressed you negatively?
no PBL in the curriculum, although I was told it might be on the way.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I knew the people there were friendly, but I was overwhelmed with the genuine feeling of good will amongst the students.
What are your general comments?
General Comments: This was my first of 7 interviews and it was the best school. I've been lucky to get interviews at most of the top schools across the country. This school, however, has everything I want-a thorough basic science curriculum and emphasis on developing good clinical skills. After I finish at the UT Medical School at San Antonio, assuming I'm accepted there, I'll have the keys to open any door in medicine, whether it'll be in research, academia or private practice.
