How did the interview impress you?

Negatively ☹️

What was the stress level of the interview?

4 / 10

0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

The facilities, campus, and students were very impressive. The interview itself was what was a negative experience for me. EVMS will surely scare away potentially good students becuase their interview process is poor. It needs to become a better school before it requires one to undergo such a painstaking process for admission. Its lack of research opporunities is a concern for me, but if not accepted into a more research oriented school I would go here for the location and the congeniality of its students.

Interview questions they asked

What is the #1 problem facing Americans today in terms of health care?

I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

What does the term physician mean to you?

I was asked this too

What was the most difficult question?

say you were to a physician and were to travel to San Diego for a seminar and a pharm. company offers to pay with the enhancement of your medical knowledge being their main reason for paying, would you accept the money? (???)

I was asked this too

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, their website.

What impressed you positively?

The area-the beach is 25 min away and downtown Norfolk is growing. The students-all are laid back and extremely friendly. CHKD-a really nice pediatrics hospital. And the effort by the school to make sure students have a life outside of classes.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview itself was bad. There are also no opportunities for research.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you can park on the streets adjacent to Colley Ave. and not have to pay 8$ for the lot.
