VERY specific questions from my personal statement and activities section.

Why Baylor?

What was the most interesting question?

It was interesting when my faculty interviewer picked up her phone and took a personal call which didn't seem like an urgent matter at all.... -__-

What was the most difficult question?

Questions about current healthcare problems and how to solve them. Both interviewers asked this. It wasn't a problem for the student interviewer, but my faculty interviewer said "any more" after I said 3.

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Baylor's website

What impressed you positively?

Great medical center, 1.5 year curriculum.

What impressed you negatively?

Cut ties with Methodist, financial problems a year or two ago, rude faculty interviewer, not a big fan of the location.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You start at 12 and get out at 7.

What are your general comments?

This school was a completely different experience that I expected. I liked the students and curriculum a lot more than I thought I would, but I dislike the location, the ties to local hospitals, and its "past" financial problems. The cost is a big unexpected plus though.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Don't end at 7, that's so late!
