"Why did you choose your major? What did you mean by ____ on your secondary?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What are 3 things you are proud of? My interviewer challenged my answers but I defended them and she seemed impressed. Turns out we had a lot in common - we started talking about cultures, the fact that we're both catholic, families, pressures, expectations, etc..." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Do you plan on staying in Texas?" Report Response | I was asked this question too

"Had an answer (not memorized) ready for any possible question or situation by compiling huge list of questions ever asked. WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY OVERPREPARED. You really need not do this, though there are just some you should expect. Know why you chose your major if it isn't the typical science. =)" Report Response
"Parkland, Children's Medical Center. I was often sick as a young child so spent many nights at Children's. Naturally I have a fondness for the place, so it was nice revisiting. " Report Response
"During lunch, the med students tended to group together (with exceptions of course) so didn't interact with the interviewees that much and provided little feedback." Report Response
"How relaxed the day would be. I way overprepared. " Report Response
"I interviewed on the very last possible day at UTSW. I never really thought that I had a chance at this school, so an invite came as a shocker. My stats are not exactly up to UTSW standards. I used to think this school was a number whore school - that it was grossly competitive - and that there was no chance I was going to go here. The interview day completely changed those preconceptions. I had 2 pleasant interviews. At the end of the first interview, my interviewer asked me who was interviewing me next and then he gave me some extra tidbits about her, which I naturally brought up in the consequent interview. She was impressed that I knew ___ about her. =) Nearly 5 months later since my interview (gosh I wish I had rememberd to do this feedback earlier) I can't remember too many exact details about the interview day. I do feel, however, that those interviews are what got me into UTSW. As mentioned, I don't exactly have the numbers...so these interviews DO MATTER. I was also awarded a 4-yr merit scholarship. I guarantee that the interview made all the difference. " Report Response
