💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why are you applying to UTHSC (as an out-of-stater)?
What was the most interesting question?
Is your low MCAT writing score (N) a result of you not having taken a college-level English course?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Nothing, I had already been accepted elsewhere, so I was just winging this one
What was the most difficult question?
What did you learn from the physicians you shadowed?
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.
