How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this site and took the advice of other interviewees--didn't stress about UT-Houston.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students were definitely approachable. No competition here.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Almost all of the students come from UT schools or A&M. They almost all end up in TX for residency. (I am a resident but go to school out of state and don't necessarily want to stay in TX for the rest of my life.) Also the facilities are in such a state of disrepair that it was sad. The "gym" is not impressive at all.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That out of at least 50 interviewees that day, I would be one of only 3 who attend college outside Texas.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I was very unimpressed by my interviewers' questions. I have significant research experience including a publication in a major journal, but neither interviewer asked for details on that. I also discuss health care policy at length in my application, but one of my interviewers didn't even know enough about current politics to have a discussion with me! Overall a very disillusioning process, but hopefully good practice for future interviews.
