How did you prepare for the interview?

Smile. Interviews are always a mixed bag. Sometimes you get the friendly ones, sometimes the grillers. Completely random.

They sell the integrated curriculum very well.

What impressed you negatively?

the island

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The campus is much nicer that I had been thinking. Probably my favorite campus layout of all the Texas schools. Very spacious with lots of room and no traffic. How much time they spend in PBL--the school's policy is that students will never spend more time in lecture than PBL. Amazing. Sounds good for making good diagnosticians, but I can see how it has hampered their board scores. This year's has improved, but the teaching method doesn't seem to lend itself to aceing standardized tests (USMLE).

What are your general comments?

I had only heard bad things about Galveston, but the visit really improved my attitude. This is another fine medical school. Just don't forget your can of OFF.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
