✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

3 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over application and UT website, talked to friends who had interviewed, looked at SDN.

What impressed you positively?

Large variety of clinical facilities and the ability to go to Knoxville and/or Chattanooga for rotations.

What impressed you negatively?

Ms. Harris was very rude, the day was really disorganized. The entire group has to spend 1-1.5 hours walking around so everyone can find where their interview will be.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much walking is involved (a lot of outside) and whether or not it's acceptable to bring tennis shoes (it needs to be suggested outright instead of saying "comfortable" shoes!).

What are your general comments?

Overall, I would judge UT as a good school with great clinical opportunities. Research opportunities are there but you'll have to make it happen. Students mostly seemed young and kind.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

While Dr. Strother is very helpful and a great listener, Ms. Harris is much the opposite. She gave us warnings not to "tell on her," suggesting that someone had done so in the past. She did not listen to questions and throughout the day had an irritated tone. Several of my friends who interviewed agree with me...she needs to go.
