What impressed you positively?

"Clinical volume available at the TMC. Inside of BCM is seems very new. Pass/fail grading system in pre-clinical years. Students here have 8 months to do whatever they want (study for the boards, do research, get married..) because they finish pre-clinicals in 18 months. This means you can have tons of time to study for the boards. 20k/yr tuition OOS, and you can very easily get Texas residency from what I gathered. The medical students who helped run interview day were very friendly." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The interview day seemed extremely impersonal because they have so many people at once. I was surprised by how much I dislike Houston. Baylor is smack dab in the middle of a huge professional complex, and not the place to go if you want a college environment. No real rec center. I don't think I met a SINGLE MS1 the entire day. They aren't affiliated with MD Anderson or Methodist. Parking is $12/day if you want to drive to the TMC..?!!" Report Response
