⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

No change 😐

What was the stress level of the interview?

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

There were some definite low points, but those seemed to be isolated incidents instead of problems with the school. The school itself impressed me, and I really think the school produces good physicians.

What are the top three ethical issues faced by physicians?

Read my AMCAS application and some research I've done

What was the most difficult question?

What are the top three ethical issues faced by doctors?

What impressed you positively?

The amount of clinical experience allowed at UT, and the amazing variety of opportunities available.

What impressed you negatively?

The class I sat in on was was not very impressive at all. The material presented was very simple, and the students seemed very restless. It kind of reminded me of high school classes. The teacher did do a good job of explaining things. Also, one of my interviewers was very argumentative. I spent the first thirty minutes of my interview thinking the man hated me, but after I asked a question about something he was interested in he seemed to really warm up. So definitely ask questions.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The continental breakfast is basically coffee and a danish. You would think a health care facility would at least have healthy options for breakfast.
