What impressed you positively?

How professional and friendly students are at MCV; Everything is very high tech and up to date.

What impressed you negatively?

I would say the fact that there's not much activity going on in Richmond at night.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The tour is a bit lengthy - make sure you get a good night sleep the night before.

What are your general comments?

I chose to stay with a 4th year medical student, which turned out to be the best part of the entire interview experience because he was very friendly, informative and just overall an awesome guy. The interview was very relaxed and low-stress, and actually your interviewer becomes your advocate when your case is presented to the admissions committee. I received an acceptance from them and MCV is currently my first choice based on the interview experience.
