How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

read through previous entries on SDN with regards to UT's college of medicine; read through amcas application

What impressed you positively?

4 students to 1 cadaver; all buildings are connected via tunnels and walkways; testing facility; the friendly environment

What impressed you negatively?

some buildings could use some renovations....

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I read that the interviews were laid back, but I was not expecting how laid back they were. The interviewers really cared to get to know me, so I wish that I was a bit less nervous in the beginning of the day

What are your general comments?

The interviews were very laid back. One interviewer had looked up my hometown, asked me questions about growing up where I did, and knew *everything* that was on my AMCAS application.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
