The Saturday interviews are great, you have don't have to take off work...UTSW has now become my number one school. Students seemed like a part of the school...there were a lot of students there on a Saturday...after lunch too.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to be a doctor?
How did you prepare for the interview?
read my application, MSAR, UTSW's website...the standard stuff.
What impressed you positively?
Everything!! The students, Parkland Hospital, the faculty... The student body seemed more diverse than other Texas med schools. A Nobel Prize winner will be your professor your first-year. The students were also really honest about the strengths and weaknesses of UTSW. And the gym is really nice!!
What impressed you negatively?
Honestly, nothing. I really, really liked Southwestern!!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Being able to visit during the week. I would have come on the Thursday before so that I could shadow a med student on the Friday before my interview. Overall, the interview is really organized. They don't waste your time. You start at 9 and are done by 3. Your two interviews are back to back, so get them done all at once.
