SDN, reviewed basic bioethics at University of Washington site, read up on healthcare policy
What impressed you positively?
Small class size, one-to-one ratio of students to attendings during third and fourth year rotations, how nice Scott and White and the VA are in Temple
What impressed you negatively?
A&M is a split campus, meaning that the first two years are in College Station, while the last two are 90 miles away in Temple. Also, both towns are pretty small and are in the middle of no-where. (When we were driving to Temple, we knew that we were going in the right direction when we could see Scott and White rising out of a relatively desolate area from about 20 minutes outside of town. This is a testament to how small Temple is and how large Scott and White is.)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing really...just be prepared for a long day.
What are your general comments?
Overall, my experience was a positive one. I really don't have any complaints. The entire day was laid-back and relaxed. Both interviewers were polite and non-confrontational. The interviews themselves felt more like conversations and no difficult questions were asked. A few other candidates I spoke to seem to have received more challenging interviews with ethical questions.
