What impressed you positively?

"Dean Strothers is outstanding. He is very friendly, cracks silly jokes, and generally goes out of his way to try and put the applicants at ease. The admissions office and tour guide med students all were very open and helpful. The quality of the rotations and amount of hands on experience you get here is outstanding. It's unrivaled in any other school I've seen." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The actual school buildings and campus in general. There is a ton of construction inside and outside (which is good, but makes concentrating hard), and the facilities in general are pretty dilapidated. It seems like the first two years of classes aren't anything special, but from my p.o.v. it's totally worth doing them here to have the opportunity to do rotations at the med and le bonheur." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"UT does 1 academic (alpha) and 1 personal interview (beta), and they aren't supposed to last over an hour. But my academic interview lasted 1h 20m. It was tortuous, and he asked me almost all the same questions as my personal interviewer did. Also he tried to reschedule my interview the day of which was pretty stressful, and he didn't have the correct amcas file for me, so I had to come back at a different time from the reschedule. Also he kept saying things about my academic background that were completely untrue - not sure if he was trying to trick me into lying or was just a terrible, careless, & unprepared interviewer. Moral: Be prepared for anything." Report Response
