No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

I didn't - tried to look at the website, which wasn't very helpful. Did attend the night-before social.

What impressed you positively?

A lot! Great students, very nice, lots of times for away rotations, PBL &amp; organ systems based curriculum (they don't even go full days!), they have a brand new Global Health track

What impressed you negatively?

I like Galveston and all, but it's just not a huge center for medical stuff. Since I'm from Houston, I always end up comparing everything to the TMC..

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I'm glad I learned it while there, it kept the day interesting!

What are your general comments?

Good. Nice people. 2 interviewers: 1) Reviewed my entire application with me (they don't have scores tho). Was very nice, very easy to talk to, not a single difficult question. 2) Didn't talk about my app once - talked about health policy, just had a conversation. Really liked the guy.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
