What impressed you positively?

The VIC is an excellent program. It allows for early clinical experience, proper and thorough intergration of the basic science and clinical sciences, ethical/medical leadership/teamwork group discussions, the re-learning method to reinforce material over the course of the four years spent in medical school and much more. Additionally, a lot of construction went into the new areas and availability of course materials. The standardized patient facility is excellent as well. Lastly and most importantly, the students, faculty and admission staff that I met with were sincere, outgoing, enthusiastic and very helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

The out of state cost is something to think about, but the interview day builds in a very informative financial aid discussion that has helped to guide me where I need to look for financial aid, where not to look and how to minimize my debt as best as possible.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is nothing that I wish I had known, but I wish that I had stayed with a student the night before and I feel that I missed out on a good experience.

What are your general comments?

Before going up to my interview, I had really did not know what to expect about Vermont and the northeast. The scenery is beautiful, there appears to be a lot going on at the lake and the downtown area is small and fun (like my undergrad college town). It may not be as warm as I am used to and I might not hear the expression "yall" for a while, but it would be an exciting experience.
