Interviewed here last Friday. The interview day was by far the most impressive of the three schools I've interviewed at so far, and this school is now head and shoulders above the other two on my preference list.
The TMC, as many posters have already said, is simply astounding. There is cutting edge research in literally every field. It feels like a relatively large city where the only industry is healthcare. It's definitely got a sense of community (it even has its own newspaper!), and, per the student ambassadors, all of those world class institutions are available for you to do shadowing and/or electives (i.e., heme/onc at MD Anderson, peds at Texas Children's, cards at Texas Heart Institute, etc.). They said that they've never heard of anyone asking to shadow getting turned down by anyone in the med center.
The cohesiveness and fellowship among students is also really impressive, and is the best I've seen at any school (and the other two schools really pushed how supportive their students were). Apparently, nearly half of every class takes part in the ambassadors program.
On a less (or more, depending on your priorities) serious note, the food was also better than the other schools at which I've interviewed. Breakfast burritos and fajitas? Yes please.
To any current UTH students on these forums that help out with the interview days, keep up the good work. Y'all do a fantastic job of selling the school and making interviewees feel comfortable and welcome.
Tl;dr: Great student atmosphere, TMC is amazing, and food is good.
My top choice by far. Hopefully they'll show me some love!
