"I didn't go to the night before mixer, which was at some bar. I heard from a friend that the med students were totally drunk while the premeds were all uptight and trying to be good. The interview day began early at 7:45, which was kind of bad, although they provide coffee, juice, and muffins (they were HUGE). The dean gave a nice motivational speech, and it probably would have been more interesting had it not been so long and so early in the morning. Interview times were scattered through the day and often overlapped with tours. I only got to go on 10 min of the med school tour because I had an interview. Also, the hospital tours were cancelled because of rain. The interview was partially open file; they only had my personal statement, list of courses, GPA, and MCAT, nothing else, but that's the important stuff. I had one physician and one PhD interviewer. THey were both really nice but the PhD seemed more conversational. I talked with him for over an hour. The area around the Texas Medical Center isn't too busy, and seems like a liveable area. Didn't get to see the gym but apparently it's right across the street from student housing. The medical students seemed glad that they chose Houston and they all said it was their first choice. Problem based learning seems helpful in honing diagnostic skills also. One med student said that they tape all the lectures and put them on the internet so that you can watch live or later on. Pretty nice school, will rank it first." Report Response
