How did you prepare for the interview?
I had researched the school online and checked this site. I had my physician friends "interview" me.
What impressed you positively?
Wow! Everyone was friendly. People would stop and ask me if I needed directions anywhere. Doctors I passed in the hallway would tell me "Good Luck!" The students are a good mix, with plenty of older students with varied life experiences.
What impressed you negatively?
Not too much. It is kind of a confusing layout, and there is a lot of construction going on in San Antonio.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I-10 west was CLOSED in the middle of the city. It merged us all into one lane and then made us exit. There was no notice of this early enough to exit before getting mired in a horrible traffic jam.
What are your general comments?
Overall, it was great, much better then I had expected. They did a great job of making the applicants really feel wanted-- it didn't seem like they were looking for flaws.
