How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, previous interview experience.

What impressed you positively?

clinical Presentation style curriculum,Teaching centered faculty, AWESOME sim center & basic research lab, Clinicals in underserved, 3rd world scenarios & possibility of full scholarship.

What impressed you negatively?

El Paso is #2 safest, but never cross the border. No USMLE or residency match lists yet.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Renting a car is a waste, shuttles are available & easy to get around on. Only around 25 interviewees were there, so it was great. Make sure to get to airport little early when departing el paso, because the screening line can be long.

What are your general comments?

Relax. The interviewers want to know you better and want to let you know about the school. So, don't be afraid to ask questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

If you could include el paso community hospital in the tour, it would be awesome.
