What are your general comments?

the day started a little disorganized and frazzled, but baylor has many things working in its favor. students are very very happy and relaxed. interviews a little spread out. tours are not too helpful but does just how expansive the tmc is.

How did you prepare for the interview?

sdn, website

What impressed you positively?

the facilities are very nice, the curriculum- early clinical contact, different "tracks", lots of flexibility, my second interview

What impressed you negatively?

the first interview- very hostile and confrontational, the ad-com members who were students who basically stayed with us the whole day, and no matter how they try, can't hide the fact that baylor is *still* in houston

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

don't go on the tmc tour if you've had *any* kind of remote contact with any of the hospitals- because that's all you're going to get on the HOUR-LONG walking tour
