How did the interview impress you?

Positively 🙂

What was the stress level of the interview?

1 / 10

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

all in all, a very pleasant experience. the school impressed me moreso than i thought it would and it's now in my top 4. the students love the place and i got a good vibe from the faculty/administration in that i feel they really care about their students. once the construction is complete, they'll have beautiful facilities.

Interview questions they asked

very conversational... where do you want to settle in the future? why uvm? why medicine? are you a patriots fan? oh, and my interviewer knew my file really well (particularly my personal statement and a select few activities) so be prepared to go in-depth with your responses

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

nothing really interesting.

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

nothing difficult.

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

this website, uvm catalog (man that's a strangely spelled word--just doesn't look right)

What impressed you positively?

students seemed incredibly happy across the board, even just while we were waiting for the day to start, many (completely unaffiliated with the tour/interview day) came up to us to give us encouragement/advice and told us how much they liked the school; also, the school seems to be headed in the right direction--the new curriculum seems to be a significant improvement over the "traditional" curriculum (it was just fully implemented for the first-year class) and it's cool because of early clinical exposure (start rotations 2nd semester 2nd year)--in addition to the fact that they're constructing a brand new medical school facility

What impressed you negatively?

the fact that it seems that construction will be ongoing while our entering class would be there; the current facilities are a little dated

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that the holiday inn i stayed at was under construction, so the banging of hammers until 9pm and starting at 7 am sucked, particularly since the interview didn't start until 11:15: DON'T STAY AT THE HOLIDAY INN!! (who says consumers can't have a say?)
