okay, so this day was a very pleasant surprise for me! after interviewing at duke and having a completely WONDERFUL experience there, i didn't think it was possible that i could be happy at any other school. but after my interview at EVMS, i don't feel that way any more. i really had a good experience on my interview day. the children's hospital was so wonderful. i hope i get in !!!

2 babies, both need livers, everythings is equal except their financial situations, one's parents can't afford the surgery, the other's parents promise to donate $10 million if their child is given the liver, how would u decide who gets the liver?

How did you prepare for the interview?

relaxed, looked over the feedback from this website

what do u think about the state of prescription medicines in this country?....i guess this one was difficult for me because other than the fact that prescription drugs are too much and some are dangerous, i didn't know what else to say

What impressed you positively?

my interviewers, the people, basically i was sold after our tour of the children's hospital...oh yeah, that sandwich we had for lunch was bangin'!

a couple of the administrators didn't seem to excited to have us there, like everything they said was a rehearsed speech....oh well...also EVMS does have many underrepresented minorities
