"Practiced interview questions, read over the Baylor website and about their tracks (Underrepresented in Healthcare, International Medicine, etc.), talked to as many students as I could to get a feel for their culture and student life, thanks to my student host. " Report Response
"Stay with a student host! This was a really important part of the experience for me; I stayed at a student's apartment the night before and night of my interview. This allowed me to have a better understanding of the school and the cultural atmosphere before the interview took place. Absolutely everything impressed me: the Texas Medical Center was amazing (the largest medical center in the WORLD!), with tons of opportunities and hospitals all in one huge area; the students were amazing, welcoming, and very well-rounded; they have lots of faculty that work with the underserved and international health initiatives; they reach out to the community and to other countries by creating new programs. It was absolutely amazing and I miss it already!!!!!" Report Response
"Only the fact that the school contains just two lecture halls, one for the first years and one for second years. So, all day you are in classes from 8 to 12 in the same classroom. But, the facilities are beautiful!!" Report Response
"I highly recommend staying with a student host! They give really great insight into life at Baylor, because the interviews take place before you hear the student presentations at the school. Also, I think it's important to show how much you are interested in Baylor. Also, my first interviewer was a professor, and my second one was a third-year that was really cool. Also, the fact that they can learn the curriculum in a year and a half because they learn based on organ systems, not based on separate subjects like physiology, anatomy, etc. There are also a ton of ways to get clinical experience beginning your second week of MS1! Ben Taub General Hospital is great for getting practical experience even in your first few weeks, because they need staff members and so med school students are a valuable asset to helping provide care. Furthermore, classes are generally just from 8 to 12 Monday to Friday and the sciences curriculum is taught in a year and a half instead of two years! Which means you start clinical rotations a half year before students at other schools, and thus can have more experience in (and really, be done with clinicals), by the time you apply for residency." Report Response
"I had practiced possible questions, so it was not so bad. But they seemed to really want to know why I wanted to go to Baylor." Report Response
