No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN Interview Feedback, SDN forums, UTH website, application, and personal essay.

What impressed you positively?

Camaraderie of students and faculty. A lot of them went out of their way to help the applicants.

What impressed you negatively?

Tours were somewhat lacking. Nothing went on inside Texas Heart Institute.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Most interviewers just want to know about you as a person and what motivates you to become a doctor. Intense preparation is not really necessary at all.

What are your general comments?

Just be yourself and everything will be fine. Most students had good interviews. I was asked the ethical question above probably because that interviewer was a Ph.D in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
