How did you prepare for the interview?

Nothing much. Just read over my file.

What impressed you positively?

Anatomy labs are simply amazing -- light is provided by skylights and it is on the top floor of the medical education building. Very impressive. Also, some residents were very eager to help me find my first interviewer. They really went out of their way, and I wasn't even lost!

What impressed you negatively?

nothing

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

read up on what UTMB has to offer. for example, they have a medical humanities institute which offers great electives like "medicine and the law."

What are your general comments?

the first one was a bit odd, but friendly all the same. the second was much better. the interviewers are not writing anything down when they talk to you. i guess they're just there to see what your personality is like. no need to plug your C.V. here, just be very personable.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
