UTMB! GALVESTON
-Interviews are INCREDIBLY LAID BACK, they did not have our MCAT/GPA scores during the interview (hope you have the morning interviews
because it is BLAZING HOT in the afternoon)
-Tons of opportunities at UTMB --> global health track, bilingual health, translational research, rural medicine, humanities, public health, aerospace medicine, MD/MPH, MD/MS, MD/PHD
-You have the opportunity to do 1-2 months of your clinical rotations in the PRISON Hospital (it's on lockdown and you need clearance to enter ... ) this is a very unique opportunity. Also, If you want to do clinical rotations in Houston or other cities that is an option
-Galveston National Lab
-Half day schedule, curriculum is similar to Texas Tech (block style) + PBL MWF, lecture is video recorded and the program lets you watch it back at 2x speed
-LOTS of history around the town/medical school. Note: Galveston is a weird/quirky town, if you've been there you'll agree with this.
-Students are down to EARTH
-Medical Fraternities - cheap housing + 9 meals/wk + student mentors in classes above you + fun environment/good way to relax + several students living in these have high board scores
-SPEAKING OF BOARDS, as of right now 190 students have taken the boards with an AVERAGE OF 234! (that is likely to drop as the last scores come in)
-Intramurals + Athletic facilities
Note: Bring earplugs to Yaga's
Jimmer's #1 Reason to pick this school: LOTS OF OPPORTUNITIES AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS
