Read SDN, reviewed application

What impressed you positively?

The "Synergistic Center" (Student Lounge) was pretty cool.

Lubbock...flat, dry, isolated... will most likely have to move for 3rd and 4th year to Amarillo or El Paso.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much time I was going to waste

What are your general comments?

Overall, the interview was "ok". However, they seemed very disorganized. There were a lot of gaps in the schedule...a lot of waiting. The tour was pretty lame. Shouldn't potential doctors interview with clinical docs instead of couple of lab rats?
