"The diverse patient populations seen at the Texas Medical Center. The many interdepartmental and interinstitutional research opportunities available (ex. Rice University Dept of Bioengineering). Low cost of living in comparison to DC. Prior to beginning your PhD, you get to do 6 months of clinical rotations because of the basic sciences curriculum being compressed to a year and a half."

"MSTP applicants begin at 8 am with a welcome by one of the co-directors, and then have 3 interviews back to back from 9-11:40. Two of these interviews are faculty, one is student. In my case, my student interview was actually done by two current MSTP students. The MD portion of the interviews begins at 12, where the MSTP students join the MD applicants. There's a welcome where everyone introduces themself (all ~50 applicants), and then there are two MD interviews, one faculty, one student (or another faculty in my case). Interspersed between interviews is a tour of the med school. Following interviews, there is a presentation on the curriculum. Then, there is a tour of some of the Medical Center. Following the tour, MSTP students go to an MSTP social for an hour, and then can rejoin the MD applicants for the MD social. This unfortunately means you miss the presentation on Houston, which is supposed to be really funny. It's a long day; I went to the social events and my day lasted from 8 am to 9:30 pm."
