How did you prepare for the interview?

created a list of questions from sdn, and drafted answers. Turned out i probably didn't need 2 go through all that -- the interview was very laid back and conversational

What impressed you positively?

Everyone had a really positive attitude. The fact that wvsom students are more sought after by area hospitals than those from other schools in the state.

What impressed you negatively?

As rural as it gets and not very ethnically diverse

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The General Lewis Inn is supposedly haunted :o

What are your general comments?

Everyone was extremely hospitable and friendly. Although it is hard to imagine that a panel interview could be relaxed and conversational, this one was. Unlike the "no feedback" policy most med schools seem to adopt, they were very responsive and encouraging.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
