What impressed you positively?

Everything. Baylor has everything (AND INDEED, MORE) than the Ivy's and Hopkins have, but without the pretentious atmosphere and with an affordable price.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That Baylor has the premier molecular and human genetics program in the country. I want to do translational medicine in some capacity and BCM provides the resources and talent from the ground up to make it happen.

What are your general comments?

Phenomenal. The Medical Center is by far the nicest place to be a medical student at relative to the other top 10's I have interviewed and received acceptances to.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
