✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read school brochure, looked over AMCAS, checked out the evaluation sheet that you have to give to your interviewers that states the criteria with which they are evaluating you specifically.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were AMAZING - TMC is huge! The students seemed genuinely happy there and everyone was very down-to-earth. Like how they start clinical rotations a half year early, super flexible clinical curriculum.

What impressed you negatively?

Nearly everyone there is from Texas, goes to school in Texas, or has some kind of affiliation with Texas. I was born in TX but live in CA - wondering if this has any bearing on my application...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Great day - they keep you well fed too. Started at 12 with a light lunch (wraps) and an introduction. Two 30 minutes interviews sometime between 1-4pm, if you're not interviewing then you're hanging out in the auditorium which is your ''home base'' for the day - you can elect to go on a tour of the school while you wait/when you're done with interviewing. Curriculum overview at 4, the clinical tour (Ben Taub's, TCH, St Lukes - depends on where your tour guide takes you), dinner (sandwiches) at 6 with a funny presentation about life in Houston and a student panel (slightly disorganized). Day's over at 7pm, but you can go to an optional hangout afterwards at a local pub (I didn't attend)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
