No responses

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, stayed with a student (highly recommended as it gives you a good idea of the school)

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

the interview questions were thought provoking and not run of the mill but the school itself was rather unimpressive

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

utter lack of academic curiosity of students. The first years giving us our tours didn't know what their classes were going to be the next semester and the fourth years I talked to didn't seem to really know much about match--maybe they were all EXTREMELY laid back but it came off as being apathetic and lacking motivation/curiosity

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the school was so unimpressive I should have just saved time and money and not interviewed

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Stayed with a student the night before the interview in student housing which was really helpful. I got to meet a bunch of students, and figure out what life as an EVMS student was really like. Arrived a bit early for the interview and was (unkindly) directed to wait in a students lounge outside the admissions office. Had SP demonstration which was neat, tours (mediocre) and then lunch. Found it interesting that during lunch when one admissions member was talking about the school the other two members were shuffling through papers and reading the newspapers. Didn't seem very respectful or give the impression of interest in the school. Tours were as previously described. Heavy on the ethical questions but both my interviewers (student and clinician) were very nice.
