How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Researched the school, read my essays.

What impressed you positively?

I interviewed at College Station. The large university system (and camaraderie) surrounding the medical school. I knew I wouldn't be at a loss for things to do or places to study. The large expansion of the school into Round Rock and Temple.

What impressed you negatively?

The small class size. Having attended both a liberal arts college and a huge public university, I actually prefer larger class sizes.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews are in the morning.

What are your general comments?

The interviews are open-file, so both interviewers had my application and essays in front of them and had studied them well. The first was laid back, but knew my mission and wanted to get a deeper sense of who I am. The second basically had marks all over my application for follow-up. He even almost quizzed me on certain activity dates. Interviews start first thing in the morning after an introduction and student panel. The students really seemed to enjoy one another's company & have fun. Tours are given throughout, and a huge Texan lunch is served afterwards. The College Station area seemed great, and only about an hour's drive from Houston.
