What impressed you positively?
The students and faculty are very enthusiastic about the school. The area is gorgeous. The student life is great. There are tremendous opportunities such as doing third year rotations at the satellite campus in Harlingen.
What impressed you negatively?
Second interviewer was MD/PhD that seemed a little disinterested. He kept fidgeting and rubbing his eyes like he just woke up or something.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Nothing really.
What are your general comments?
I arrived early at about 845am. One of the second years took some of us to sit in on a case group meeting which is really cool. At 930 we checked in and had orientation at 10. Q/A session with fourth years at 1045. Lunch at 1145. Tours given by fourth years at 1230. My first interview was by a fourth year at 2pm. My second was with a PhD who was fifteen minutes late to his first interview which pushed mine back by that much.
