How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over the school website, read a book concerning the health care crisis, reviewed the UW medical ethics website, and looked at the feedback from the student doctor website.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students were extremely approachable, honest, and friendly. I had the opportunity to stay with a first-year student and we had a blast. We went to a comedy club the night before the interview with other med students. Many of the students said they came to VCU because of the students. I would do the same.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really - - - except for the tuition, but that's standard out of state. The downtown Richmond area was much nicer than I expected from what I've read on this website. It's not Beverly Hills, but it's really not bad at all.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You can go to the admissions office thirty minutes or an hour before your interview, but five minutes before the interview, an admissions office person will give you a sheet with directions to the interview location and send you on your way alone. It was kind of stressful - worrying about being late and not knowing exactly where I was going.
