How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Student Doctor interview feedback

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the staff and how much UT has to offer. Also the promptness of informing you of your acceptance.

What impressed you negatively?

There was questionaire that consisted of 5 short essay questions and one long essay question. We had to write the essays while the faculty and students were giving presentations about the school which made it extremely difficult to focus on both writing the essays and paying attention to the presentations.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I feel like I was pretty well prepared, and I wash't caught off guard by anything.

What are your general comments?

There are other comments that give a great outline of the events of the day so I won't go there. But I will say the interviewers made me a lot less stressed when they informed me they are advocating for me when the admission committee meets and they need me to let them know everything that will help them argue my case in the meeting. So just keep in mind that your interviewer is wanting to come up with reasons why they should accept you and not the other way around.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
