What was the most interesting question?

Two along the same lines...The interviewer first asked me, ''What's the hardest question I could ask you?'' (say that question is). Then he asked me what's the hardest question I could come up with for him.

What impressed you positively?

the facilities are absolutely amazing! there are few other places where you can get the opportunities for seeing as many patients and rare conditions as you can get here (world's largest medical center). the current students were awesome, very friendly and genuinely seemed to love going there. houston's cultural and social atmosphere is great, for those few free times you'll have during school.

What impressed you negatively?

Houston's climate sucks, but you're going there for the education, so it's ok.

What are your general comments?

It was a wonderful experience overall. I can't say I love the Houston weather, but the school seems to more than make up for it with it's facilities, students, and faculty. I have to admit I hadn't given Houston much interest before, but now I know I'd really enjoy going there. Staying with a student host was great. She told me tons about the school and she helped get me to the right place the next morning. You can have either morning or afternoon interviews, just depends on what group you get. My first interview lasted for an hour (really casual and conversational), the second for 30 min (more typical question and answer). The lunch was good.
