What impressed you positively?

The simulation center was quite impressive. The staff was very helpful and wanted to make sure your day ran smoothly.

What impressed you negatively?

The drive from College Station to Temple (crazy traffic and construction!)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The 2hr drive to Temple

What are your general comments?

Overall, the school was quite impressive. There is money coming in for the school to expand beyond college station. Just relax and answer the interview questions openly and honestly. The cirriculum seems typical but I am not quite sure if I like how they grade you in gross anatomy. Lastly, they are starting a 4 year track in college station and they just started a 4 year track in temple. I am still not convinced that the students in temple have the same resources and faculty assess as the students would in college station. (just my opinion)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

It would be nice if they paid our parking fees like other schools.
