Hey guys.
Stats: MCAT sub500, uGPA 3.65
I interviewed here and the MMI was not my favorite format. I felt like the interviewers didn’t get an actual chance to know you as a candidate. Unlike other MMI’s, if you finished early here they made you sit outside and not get a chance to talk to the interviewer.
Overall, I made a pros/ cons list of the school IMHO.
Pros: location in San Antonio near a big airport, clinical rotation sites in San Antonio, community service ingrained in curriculum, campus is beautiful, “on campus” housing, faculty/ students were very friendly
Cons: tuition, 650 interviews and 450 accepted for 160 spots (red flag meaning a lot of people don’t choose here), no COMLEX scores, and upon talking with many of the students I found out was that this school wasn’t their first choice- it was their only choice.
So I guess current students and people who just accepted for class of 2024, did y'all choose UIWSOM over another school? If so, why? It'd be helpful for me because I'm having to decide myself. Thanks,
Also, feel free to add to my pros/cons!! 🙂
