How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read my supp app essays, got a good night's sleep in a great little historic inn down the road (The General Lewis Inn- stay there, the breakfast is right there in the morning so all you have to do is dress and walk down the hall)

What impressed you positively?

I was impressed with everything- the people, the school, the town. Southern hospitality is incredible! I felt so incredibly welcome. The facilities are fantastic, the students and staff are very friendly. The school is well respected both in the local community and across the country.

What impressed you negatively?

There was one student at lunch that was particularly negative and a bit cynical, but most likely because it was hell week for exams. I was still highly impressed.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I had known more about the Problem-Based Learning track that WVSOM is now starting to offer. You can read about it on the school website. I showed great interest in it and hope to be admitted into it if I am accepted.

What are your general comments?

Being from Boston, I wasn't sure what to expect from a school located in such a small, rural town. But I was completely blown away! They have incredible facilities, a great faculty-student rapport, and a real heart for osteopathic medicine. Definitely tied for my top choice.
