No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, AMCAS, supplemental app, school's website, and the student host

What impressed you positively?

I was treated like royalty since landing in Norfolk. My student host gave me a ride from/to the airport, and even gave up her bed for me the night before the interview. Her enthusiasm about the program (as well as the enthusiasm of the students, faculty, and administrators) put this school at the top of my list. If you're seriously looking for a tightly-knit cooperative community, then this is the place. (thanks K!)

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I hadn't rescheduled my flight back; it wasn't necessary.

What are your general comments?

My interview experience was pretty seamless; the day was well organized, with a talk on the standardized pt. program, and how the curriculum integrates clinical medicine with the basic sciences. The tour was great, and the entire group was friendly -- even the fellow interviewees!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
