Overall chill in the sense of not grilling, but know your application thoroughly. Be able to articulate yourself well about who you are, your hobbies, your experiences. No gotcha, but each interviewer has their own personality -- learn to carry a conversation ;)
I sweat a lot from nerves lol.
2nd interviewer seemed kinda egotistical and was very blunt/straightforward, could be a little more personable but I appreciated their authenticity to themselves lol.
Lots of social support and offerings like colleges system, they seem to really pride themselves on being supportive - sometimes opposite of what others say lol
Mock interview with an ADCOM/MD member of another school, practiced online videos, recorded myself, bullet points to common questions, re-read my primary application and secondary essays.
It was a very comfortable conversation with a PhD and an MD. They didn't ask me anything about my "stats" but focused more on what made me who I was and if I would be a good fit for the school. I was super nervous going into it, but relaxed a lot when my interviewers really just wanted to have a conversation with me.
I wouldn't be talking about my research or grades.
I am impressed by the school and felt welcome by the people there.
How casual the interview was going to be. They repeatedly stress that the interviews are supposed to be informal conversations.
No negative impressions.
Student panels were helpful and honest, interviewers has read through my application and asked thought-provoking questions
Studied the school and my application, practiced some ethical scenarios (was not asked about these), and made sure I had a solid answer to “tell me about yourself” and “why medicine.”
Great school
How pleasant the interviews were going to be.
Attitudes of students and campus.
Studied my application. Read MSAR page. Read UTSW's school page. Reviewed prior SDN threads.
I studied the school's mission, went through my application, and wrote down questions from SDN and prepped them.
How exhausting the Friday activities are
Students were negative towards the curriculum
