How welcoming and supportive the admission staff, medical students, and everybody at the school were. The school's philosophy on choosing whoom to interview.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I definitely underestimated the school! This place is like a mini medical city! Excellent support group from faculty and how laid back everybody looked.
What are your general comments?
Honestly, I was not expecting too much when I went to the interview. I had thought of it as a ''practice'' interview. Boy was I wrong! Everything about the school is very impressive, from how they select whom to interview, the medical students and faculty that you talk to, the practice exams they make you do in that new simulation center (HEB also graciously donated a million dollars...) before you head over to the clinical part of your licensicing exam, to everything! I'm definitely considering this school now. Oh yeah, stay at the Country Hearth Inn. It is literally across the street from the medical school (where you will interview)
