What impressed you positively?
Great student body that really seemed to support each other and had staff and faculty that really cared.
What impressed you negatively?
The city is a major turnoff and there was a screw-up with the location of my 1st interview that cost me about 2 hours of my time.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
One of my interviewers actually had typed out a sheet with 5 questions and he wrote down my answers as I was saying them. It was really annoying but whatever helps him remember what I said...
What are your general comments?
Their teaching hospital has nothing on Parkland or Ben Taub but Harlingen sounds like it'll be pretty cool with the direct contact with whoever is attending. Again, the students seemed tight and supportive of each other. Overall, minus the scheduling mishap, this interview was pretty straight forward. Cheers!
