How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read my TMDSAS application and essay, read interview advice online, got a good night's sleep.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities that they are building, the amazingly friendly students, the lack of interpersonal competition (replaced by personal competition), the opportunities for clerkships in southern Texas (working with mostly immigrants).

What impressed you negatively?

The area, but what can you do?

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That my second interviewer would be kind of hostile.

What are your general comments?

While it isn't my first choice school, I would not be upset if I ended up at this school. I am most impressed by the general positive outlook of the medical students, and especially impressed by the friendly interactions and lack of vicious competition.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Many of the interview locations were difficult to get to. Maps would be great.
