How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over interview feedback from SDN, checked out their web-site, and conducted e-mail interviews with current students.

What impressed you positively?

The staff was very organized, and a friendly environment.

What impressed you negatively?

I had visited the school during Open House and had an opportunity to speak with current students. Besides not having a wet-lab I could not find anything negative. VCOM was my 1st choice!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing!

What are your general comments?

I was greeted early in the morning by a wonderful admissions director. Six of us were interviewing on this day and we had a chance to relieve any unnecessary stress via general conversation. Two of us were from VA and the rest were out of state. The interview itself was pretty much like a general conversation sprinkled with questions about healthcare in US, and how it could be fixed, my favorite type of music and letting them know a little about myself. On the other hand, I did have an interviewer who pulled out a list of questions and proceeded to run one off right after the other. I became stuck on one or two but the next interviewer was a person who enjoyed talking and we had a nice conversation...
