It was good-> the interiew was REALLY laid back, which was awesome. My interviewer was a 4th yr student who was like ''We're just gonna talk but there are some standard questions I'm going to ask you throughout''

Interview questions they asked

SDN, AMCAS, my secondary, I read up a lot on healthcare problems but that wasn't even mentioned

I always hear horror stories about Richmond, but the campus was really nice and all the facilities were awesome

We didn't really get to look into halls and stuff because some classes were going on, but not a big deal
