How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, school website info on the varous teaching hospitals at the medical center.

What impressed you positively?

Students and faculty seemed pleasant and interested. The shared resources in the library. Lots of localized research and patient care opportunities.

What impressed you negatively?

Lots of construction going on and many rooms and labs will not be where they are currently.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My second interviewer was on the admissions board and I would have liked to work him a little harder. One interviewer had read my file and asked many questions in reference to my essay and work history. The other had only glanced at my profile.

What are your general comments?

UT Houston is a top notch medical shool with a long history. They matriculate a large class of about 200, but interview about 1200. The med center has a premier Heart Institute, Children's Hospital and level 1 trauma center. The facilities looked pretty good, the students seemed genuine and friendly, as did the faculty. Both of my interviews were fairly laid back. There were still a handful of candidates there at about 4pm when I left, so it is a long day.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
