What are your general comments?

Extremely positive. Didn't know too much about VCU before this but after my visit it's definitely very very high up on my list. My interviewer was like 70+ years old and extremely nice. He was a very good conversationalist and SOMEHOW managed to insert very standard interview questions in in a VERY subtle and casual manner.

Interview questions they asked

Questions about my background.. Family, why I chose undergrad, why I chose medicine, why

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

Is there an alcohol problem at your undergrad? How bout a drug problem? What would you say is your strongest muscle (my application is all about weight-lifting)?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

Do you know anything about stem cell research?

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

Other interviews prepared me well for this -- especially EVMS.

What impressed you positively?

I LOVE THE CAMPUS! The dental school, pharm school, nursing school are ALL there so the campus is very lively. VCU basically runs Richmond.

What impressed you negatively?

Richmond's tallest building might be New York's shortest building. The area is pretty yet somehow it's the hood.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Mad hoodlums. Even the Radisson is ghetto.
