How did you prepare for the interview?

Student Doctor, TALKED WITH A 2ND YEAR UT HOUSTON MED STUDENT (I cannot stress how helpful this was in fine tuning my questions).

What impressed you positively?

Everything. Seriously. This tour was VERY well put together. The 2nd year I was talking to told me about the recent change in admissions criteria

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing except humidity... but it's HOUSTON, so that's understandable.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

UT Houston really really really wants to attract med school students. They are SO nice. The atmosphere is GREAT, and the admissions dean is SO affectionate.

What are your general comments?

UT Houston, even as my prior top pick, impressed me so much I feel like not interviewing elsewhere (but still will). The admissions people were frank in their aspirations toward each candidate.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
