How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, reviewed my AMCAS and secondary app

What impressed you positively?

Everything really impressed me: Extremely friendly student body, curriculum, ties to the community. A very positive aspect was their Standardized Patient program. They employ this learning tool throughout your tenure at EVMS.

What impressed you negatively?

The tuition for out of state applicants...yikes!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That they would tell you all of the questions you would be asked in the interview beforehand.

What are your general comments?

Besides what I've already described, it is important to read up on some relevant health care issues because they will ask you at least one question on that. They also touch on things in your personal statement so make sure you know what you've written! Overall it is pretty relaxed, they ask probing questions and guide you to what they're looking for.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
