How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed the school website, took their virtual tour, went to the pre-interview happy hour.

What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty are all extremely friendly and made an effort to be involved in the interview day, even in the middle of mid-terms. Also, there are several teaching hospitals attached to the medical school.

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of technological advances...lectures are only audio tape recorded, no data ports in class rooms, etc.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is a strong emphasis on clinical experience from day one. They are proud of this (it seems to be their number 1 selling feature) and it is good to cite when answering why UTHSCSA.

What are your general comments?

This was a very enjoyable interview experience. The interviewers were friendly and created a low-stress environment. I was asked no political/health care questions. The interviews are only partially open-file, they only have your demographics and personal statement (no grades, mcats or experiences). Very nice on the whole, a lot of positives at this school.
