What was the most difficult question?

Do you think the government should be allowed to sue the tobacco companies? Should individuals be allowed to? I have no idea where this one came from. I think I ended up giving a general opinion about lottery style litigation and didn't really answer the question and he could tell.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone there was so enthusiastic about the place and life in general. The students said they got all the help necessary from professors that there is an open door policy. Cutthroat competition is highly discouraged. Even the people at visitor info on the V-Tech campus were very nice. A professor saw me looking at a campus map and offered to help me. They have a great transit system so you would not have to worry about driving in the snow.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not much at all to say negative. As other posts have mentioned there are a lot of unknowns. I would love to know the percentage of students that are going to pass the boards this year and in the future how many match with their top pick for residency.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it can take 8 months or longer to get your Hepatitis B immunizations and you need to have these before doing rotations, which start immediately. I had an opportunity to get the series through my university and didn't do it.

What are your general comments?

There were 6 of us interviewing that day. The others all seemed to have great backgrounds so I felt good to be a part of that group. The faculty and staff made us very comfortable. The whole day was done very professionally. They even had the interviewers come to pick us up in the conference room so we did not have to go looking for any hidden offices so that was very nice. They gave a lot of good information during presentations. Like out of the first class 4 students left. 1 for academic reasons, 1 will drop down to the next class because of a medical reason, 2 left for personal reasons. We were given tons of information about housing and even which apt complexes are known for partying. I had a great day and felt like I got all the information I need to know about the school to make a clear decision about attending there.
