How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN Interview feedback, wrote answers to hypothetical questions, read UTMB website and did virtual campus tour.

What impressed you positively?

Students said faculty bends over backwards for medical students. Atmosphere of students and school is very laid back, yet you can tell they are producing competant and compassionate physicians.

What impressed you negatively?

Mosquitos!!! There were "jillions" of them and I was there in Aug. so probably a bad time.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Be prepared to walk all over the 10th largest medical campus in the US. Familiarize yourself with campus if possible...they hand you a map and the names and places of your interviewers, and you go find them on your own.

What are your general comments?

I will rate UTMB as my top choice. They gave me an interview before they had my MCAT scores. Students are very positive and everyone seems to get along really well. My first interviewer was a physician. He took me on a tour around his unit and some other places. He even walked me to my second interview (very good first impression). My second interview was with an MD/PhD. He was just as approachable as the first and very easy to talk to.
