✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Nothing, I had already been accepted elsewhere, so I was just winging this one

What impressed you positively?

Admissions office was extremely nice and helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

Campus was very old, and the hospitals (especially the Med) were honestly pretty scary places.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How far behind on the times UTHSC was. Starting this year, they will be implementing a new curriculum, and their clinical skills center just recently opened. Other med schools I visited have already had these changes in place for several years now.

What are your general comments?

No responses

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Absolutely nothing. Dean Strothers and Ms. Harris are amazing. Diane even gave us her cell phone number on interview day in case we got lost.
