Bowdoinguy, I was on the infinite hold list last year and made the effort to write to VCU several times throughout the spring. I kept them updated on my interest in the school and my latest activities/achievements. I don't know how much the letters played into it, but I got my e-acceptance...

Interview at MCV or EVMS? Good luck either way! EVMS was hands down the most difficult interview I had. The questions went into a little more depth than I was prepared to discuss on ethics and healthcare reform type topics. They also had 2-3 interviewers per student. At MCV, the...

I'm dissappointed to hear you think MCV is so much inferior to UVA and furthermore that just because our standardized patients come from EVMS that they are also better than us. MCV is a great school with a ton of excellent opportunities to offer. I am not saying anything against the other...

Actually, at MCV we have H/HP/P/M/F.

Congrats on your acceptances! Both are good schools. I go to MCV...if you have any q's about it I can try to answer them...just PM me anytime. The block scheduling is very nice and the early patient contact wonderful. We also have a lot of extracurricalar oppurtunities and electives and such...

I'm also a first year at MCV! I agree w/ everything eagles has said. The block schedule is great! I've heard nothing but good stuff about our board prep, in fact I've heard noone even bothers w/ private review courses, cuz we have an advisor for it all who is top notch! I really like it here...

I found Lippincott pretty useful for biochem.

I go to VCU/MCV and I love it here! We have a block schedule which means that about once every two weeks we have a test and are done w/ all our work and get a day or sometimes even a weekend completely off. We only have lecture from 8-12 M-F w/ small groups, reviews, clinical stuff, etc. most...

Souljah, We have 2 hrs of biochem small group , 2 hrs of review for each biochem and population medicine plus 3 hours of fundamentals of clinical medicne every week (one week is small group and the next is precepting).

At VCU we have lecture 8-12 five days a week and then labs, small groups, precepting or reviews most afternoons.

So, I wrote a letter of intent to WVU before I had been accepted to any schools, but now I've been accepted to MCV/VCU and would like to arrange housing and such. Is there a point at which it is only fair for me to be able to back out of my commitment?

I'm going to Israel! I'll be working 40 hrs a week, but my sister is planning to take me around the country on my days off. She is going to introduce me to some of our relatives there as well as her friends she's met throughout the country. And, right before I leave, we are going to trek down...
