No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, baby! Oh, yes, and I spent a lot of time drilling on interview questions, so I was comfortable and natural with my responses.

What impressed you positively?

The attitudes of the students- they have a tremendous collegiality and are a very friendly and relaxed bunch. There was not a competitive air, it was more like a team, with everyone helping each other get through school.

What impressed you negatively?

Many of the facilities seemed dated and old. EVMS, since it is not part of a larger university, does not have as much funding, nor does it have as many research programs as some schools.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Very positive, very relaxed and low stress. Great student body and location. Family friendly environment, which is good since I have kids.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
