What impressed you positively?

"Baylor is an absolutely OUTSTANDING school. If I am lucky enough to get accepted, there is no doubt that I am going here. Facilities in the Texas medical center are amazing--with training at St. Lukes for private health care training, at the VA for government-based national ccare, the Ben Taub general hospital for underserved/county care, AND a new outpatient clinic. The students and faculty here are very collegial, open, and positive--you can tell that the students are VERY happy--one reason may be the early introduction to clinical medicine(within the first two weeks of school starting!) and an emphasis on body system training instead of boring stuff like straight biochem. The interview day is set up really well--very relaxed, fun, good tours, and great presentations. Even though it is an interview day, I think Baylor does a good job of making it no pressure--which is what it seems like they do for their med students during their time there." Report Response
