How did you prepare for the interview?

usual stuff.

What impressed you positively?

how relaxed and friendly the students and faculty were. I also appreciated the non-confrontational nature of the interviews and the structure in the day's plan, i.e. you weren't left wandering around by yourself to kill time.

What impressed you negatively?

That 1st year starts at the beginning of July!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to stress about the interviews & that the interviewers only have your personal statement and background info--no record of MCAT history or GPA.

What are your general comments?

I was very impressed by the school itself at San Antonio as well as the opportunities it offers its students. They work hard to advertise that they are a school that has plenty of resources and things to get involved in, but your experience there as a medical student is what you choose to make of it--you can submerge yourself in your studies and become a cutting-edge neurosurgeon or you can pursue other interests and activities while studying and still become a good doctor.
