Being an old military campus, WVSOM was absolutely beautiful and the additions they add on really makes it feel like a traditional college campus. They also noted that it was the only medical school in West Virginia without an operating deficit.

What impressed you negatively?

They didn't present any information regarding curriculum or yearly structure like other medical schools typically do.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How large the campus is - for the tour, make sure your dress shoes are comfortable. I have Yeezy insoles in mine.

What are your general comments?

Overall an incredible school and one I'd happily go to.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

They should keep doing what they do best and make applicants feel welcome!
