How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on UTH website. Tried to collect my thoughts on such things as managed care, genetics, etc. The interviewers will be able to tell if you're spouting out something from TIME magazine last week, versus really know what you're talking about.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The camaraderie of the students. UTH will sell this on you -- and they are right in doing that, because it's really apparent. The faculty is supportive as well. And lunch is great, too - fully catered.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Parking. It ran me $9.00 for only 8 hours there.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

In your field of interest (i.e. neurology), look up some of the faculty's research interests at UTH. It is likely that one of your interviewers will be a Ph.D. and the other an M.D. Apparently, I was informed that one interviewer sits on the admissions panel and the other is just to find out some additional background info on you (they do not tell you which they are).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Overall, a great experience for a first interview. They really make you feel at home. And relax, it's so low stress! They even say they're not out to rattle you like some other schools. They're just looking for who's a good fit. Also, I get the impression that they are not focused on the numbers game...ECs are more focused upon.
