How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over application and my own interview notes a couple of nights before the interview.

What impressed you positively?

the historic culture of Galveston, the campus (size and buildings and the history), the students' high scores and their curriculum, the students' calm demeanor, cheap tuition, distinction tracks, med school fraternities, student organizations, location (1-1.5 hours from home)

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing much.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing much.

What are your general comments?

I was very impressed with this school and I hope to attend! Interviews went kind of well... in my second interview, I was not sure if the interviewer understood some of what I said and had this confused look on his face 50% of the time which led me to babble more than I wanted. But overall, I think I did well and am keeping this as my top choice!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Perhaps make sure that the interviewers are able to fully understand the interviewees.
