Pass/Fail; stress-free, cooperative student body
-
My classmates are amazingly brilliant, down-to-earth, and motivated. I love the accelerated curriculum and the pass/fail system.
-
Flexibility of curriculum and classroom attendance. Great camaraderie between students and good social atmosphere and events. A very tech savvy student base and everyone is always willing to help each other out. Great location to come to school without too many other distractions.
What do you like least?
-
The microbiology curriculum is a little bit lacking.
-
Certain organizational aspects annoy me. Little things, like not being able to answer questions about a certain aspect of the curriculum or not providing information in a timely manner.
-
Library
-
The undergrad vibe, which somewhat seeps into the medical school, is very preppy. Not enough people are interested in careers beyond clinical medicine.
-
Location is not the best. Charlottesville is a college town so rowdiness and parking is an issue. It's not a very diverse location so if you need a big city to thrive, this is not the school for you.

-
Great match lists every year, and most PDs and physicians are very complimentary of UVA.
-
UVA graduates tend to match into top programs. There's also a huge network of UVA grads, and there is a great deal of networking that can be done prior to graduation for future jobs and residency placement.
-
People match in very competitive specialities and in very desirable locations. The vast majority of students match into their top 1 or 2 programs.

Fantastic place!
-
This is not a school you should go to if you don't like working in groups, as they encourage group work from the first day of class.
-
I wish the administration was more organized and structured in terms of giving out information/schedules/guidance for boards, the clinical years, and applying to residency. Although, everyone does well on the steps (most: 230s-240s) and the match, I feel like it's because we pick up tidbits here and there as opposed to structured info dissemination.
-
It's a great school with fabulous faculty and great opportunities to interact with patients and physicians.
Success!
