⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What are your general comments?

I really loved this program. Dr. Pliego is awesome if you're lucky enough to get an interview with him. The drive to Temple really isn't that bad. There was a whole line of cars that were clearly heading there so getting lost wasn't a problem. I just don't know that I could stand living in the middle of nowhere for 4 years. Nonetheless, I will rank this one highly because I can tell it is a really great program.
💬 Interview Process

What was the most interesting question?

SDN, school website

Nothing really

What impressed you positively?

Filo, financial aid presentation, Scott and White, small class size, and the fact that this school seems to invest a lot in their students

What impressed you negatively?

The medical students were cool, but the rest of the student population at Texas A&M is really scary (unless you're a facist, neo-nazi, bible-thumping, right-wing nut-job and I happen to be a liberal atheist)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Their are lots of opportunities to get involved such as the Health Circus, anti-tobacco activities, and that fact that clinical training is one-on-one.
