No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read healthcare books, SDN, thought about questions that you'd expect to be asked

What impressed you positively?

everyone was ridiculously nice, Filo is very nice. the sim center, Scott and White

What impressed you negatively?

the students were too laid back. sure small class size is nice but, i have a competitive spirit, and don't think the soft attitude the students seemed to have was fitting for someone in the medical profession

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing really.. everything was very straightforward

What are your general comments?

it was nice, my first interview, so it was good practice for the schools i really want to go to. i really was turned off by attitude of students towards class/learning in general. they were nice and nurturing, but i mean you're in med school, you shouldn't need to be babied so much... one guy basically said he would have failed out of medical school had he not received so much care from A&M which other schools may not provide... which i thought was scary (who wants THAT guy as his doctor?)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
