How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, basic interview questions

What impressed you positively?

Online interview - UHCO seems really up to date with technology, lasers/surgery and seems to offer many opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

UHCO may not be an ideal school for out-of-state students if they are wanting to practice outside Texas - it seems most of UHCO's externship sites are in Texas. My interview didn't seem to be the best because one of my interviewers came off as rude, rubbing her eyes for 1 minute, looking around, etc. I felt as if I was not being paid attention to and boring, did not feel welcome (first interview I felt like this).

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing
