How did you prepare for the interview?
glanced at website--6th interview and it's late in the process so i was tired and indifferent at this point
What impressed you positively?
H/HP/P/MP/F grading--yay for differentiation. also they encourage competitive specialties. these were 2 big pluses. 1.5 yrs of sciences instead of 2, dunno what to think about that. oh baylors super cheap too.
What impressed you negatively?
ben taub hospital--poor and sordid. st.lukes and methodist--rich and sweet but we didnt get to go due to rain. tour guide just quickly walked us through in silence pretty much. some rowdy URM interviewees were a big turnoff.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
it was raining so we only got to see the crappy county hospital and not the nice private ones. you can leave right after your 2nd interview. day starts at noon and ends late.
What are your general comments?
good option for texas students. best school in the region and in the south. i interviewed at some other good schools that had superior candidates. the out of state interviewees at baylor are markedly sharper than the in staters. competition among them for admission is much stiffer. medical center is a pretty impressive place, a good location to learn medicine. high tech and renowned, big buildings. parking is a chore though. 1 doc and 1 student interview. a lot of ppl dont like houston, summers are wretched too.
