Hey all, I got a call and decided to drive up for an interview couple of weeks ago. Everything went well I think. Questions were not as hard as I had feared. Interviewers were one clinician and one researcher from the grad school. Very, very pleasant, friendly people (by the way, awesome staff, even the cops were nice). Most of what we talked about was kinda technical and fun - about my research which I mentioned, and about some interesting cases they saw. We did talk a little - as in very briefly - about Obamacare, lack of primary care physicians in Texas, consolidation of health systems, overuse of unnecessary procedures, patient lifestyle/background as part of big picture for cost control etc. I just said a few sentences to show what I knew. The only direct question pertaining to TCOM was why I thought I wanted to be in Fort Worth for 4 years. Then we ended up talking about downtown Fort Worth, which was visible from campus, the museums, recreational/professional sport venues. Overall, it was a very casual interview. It felt more like a job interview where they want to see how you are close up as a person and coworker. The interviewers said they didn't have my grades and scores, so they couldn't discuss my academic record.
Bottom Line: Everything I saw at TCOM justified their reputation as a rock solid and well liked med school. Great school. Great location.
