What are your general comments?
Awesome. I interviewed first with a pediatrician and then a PHD. They both went through my AMCAS file and asked questions about it. I didn't have any hostile questions or ''what do you do if...'' scenerios. The interviewers wanted to get to know me beyond grades and test scores.
In my second interview we talked about everything from sushi, traveling to Rome, Irish ancestory, Memphis, banning smoking in bars, and red wine. It was like chatting with one of my parent's friends. So relaxing.

What impressed you positively?
The exposure to patients. You get unparalled experience in your first two years working with patients and being in the hospital. By time you get out of the 4 yrs, you have seen so much pathology you'll be ready for anything. Also, the atmosphere. UT cares about students and making them great doctors.
