How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed AMCAS, SDN, and UT website; mock interviews with classmates

What impressed you positively?

The warm, collegial environment impressed me the most. The facutly, staff, and students were so genuinely kind, supportive, and passionate about UT. Student satisfaction is very high, and there are many services devoted to helping students succeed. Also, UT students interact with one of the most diverse patient populations, have early clinical exposure, and can do rotations all throughout TN.

What impressed you negatively?

The buildings appear a little outdated and funding has been a problem in the past.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Be nice to everyone (including the students), wear professional attire, and find a good balance between confidence and humility. The most academically qualified applicant can ruin his/her chances if they fail to do these things.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Give everyone a raise!
