Sam Houston State University

It is more scenario based questions and how you approach things, not personality or passion questions.

The one on one interview room was a bit of a mess, originally locked out, etc etc. Some other people had issues with their schedule for the interview day or not getting asked the prepped questions.

Very nice faculty, we had room problems and they were very gentle with me. Really good at making everyone comfortable. I liked the campus as well!

Mock interview, school research, prep

Campus tour was great, staff is all very friendly, just nervous because this was the first interview and got invited in July.

SDN

5 stations. Make sure to keep track of your items. Get ready to walk up and down the school.

Go in calm and relaxed. You have no way of knowing everything they will ask and be okay with that.

Talk to students being interviewed before hand. you may end up working alongside them on an activity.

Interviewer was stone cold

The students positivity

Dr. Gray’s book, podcasts, youtube but knowing you’re self and your experiences is much more helpful.

The school is new so its curriculum and certain aspects of the student experience are evolving, but the staff and students were very honest about this the entire time.

The students were very candid and honest

Reviewed my secondary essays

It's a LONG day with a lot of activities and tasks for you to complete. It was nice not having to talk your mouth the entire day given some of the breaks though.

I wish I knew how many people I would meet at the in person interview, I feel like you have to be memorable to a LOT of people, staff, doctors, med students.

The med students on the panel didn't introduce themselves properly with where they were from, undergrad, and backgrounds. Just their names really. And even after the open questions from the interviewees, I felt like it didn't provide much insight into the student life other than surface things like clubs and schedules etc. Some of the group interviews were conducted in the lobby, and it was actually very hard to talk loudly or hear the other candidates sometimes.

The campus was nice a beautiful. Though some construction blocked some parts of campus and the SHSU COM sign (so no good interview day pictures.) The quality of the faculty and staff were great.

looked up the mission of the school on the website, learning more about the curriculum and campus. however the official website really doesn't provide too much resources to be honest. It seems pretty bare.
