Ethical questions, about only having one pint of blood who would you give it to. A 70 year old man in a coma, a 7 year old girl with leukeima or a new mother. I thought it was obvious.

Nothing really was very difficult, they were all so nice and conversational. They just wanted to know why DO why Virgina, strenghs and weaknesses, nothing hard at all. DON'T be NERVOUS
What impressed you positively?
The school is beautiful, the people are nice. Its associated with Virgina Tech. The anatomy lab is so awesome with incredible views and the air is cirulated like 17 times a minute and they have candy!!
What impressed you negatively?
Its a new school, still working on ciriculum, summer school, not accredited yet require both COmlex and USMLE, which is good i guess. but still NEW SCHOOL!! and expensive ANd blacksburg doesn't really have anything to do. its a small town where the majority of the population is students. which could be fun, but again NOTHING to DO. They also stress Rural area ALOT
