How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, mock interviews, talked to current med students

What impressed you positively?

nice campus, current MS seemed genuinely happy

What impressed you negatively?

Galveston...not the bustling city I'm used to being in.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If you felt that 1 of your interviews was not representative of who you as a candidate, you could ask for a 3rd interview that same day.

What are your general comments?

Incredibly laid-back. UTMB seems to use the interviews to simply get to know who you are. They're not trying to stump/stress you. Both interviews felt like conversations rather than interviews. The day starts @ 8:30AM, ends around 2PM. Overall, I was impressed w/the campus, the students, and the faculty.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
