How did you prepare for the interview?

I read several books and articles on health care issues in the United States, studied my application materials, and I read the NY Times along with other periodicals (e.g., Atlantic Monthly).

What impressed you positively?

The facilities and the curriculum. Baylor is truly a gem in medical education. The facilities are the best that I have seen thus far and the curriculum is definitely geared toward clinical exposure. In addition, the students are genuinely happy.

What impressed you negatively?

The parking situation (it's the only negative thing that current medical students could cite as a problem).

What are your general comments?

My first interview was with a 3rd year med student and it went very well. The interview was conversational, friendly, and stress-free. I didn't get any ethical questions; most of the questions dealt with my personality or background. My second interview was conducted by the director of pediatric oncology at Baylor--an MD/PhD from Harvard. He asked me to trace the process of elimination (in detail) that led me to pursue a career in medicine, a process that spanned nearly 7 years. That question really sucked. After I answered the question, he told me that I still hadn't explained why I wanted to become a doctor. So I opted for a different approach. Not much luck that time either. So much for Baylor! I hope that I gain admission, but I'm not that optimistic in light of the second interview. Wonderful school, though. My first choice, without a doubt.
