What impressed you positively?

Texas Medical Center is the best place to get a med education, period.

What impressed you negatively?

They interview a lot of people and you can tell they are looking for you to mess up something; there are very few prematches.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The travel time; it took 1.5 hours for a normally 20-30 minute ride.

What are your general comments?

They interview a lot of people and accept a good amount. However, keep your patience b/c prematches are hard to come by here. Speak with Dr. Kellaway, she's very approachable.
