What impressed you positively?
The school is extremely high-tech - everything is online and computerized - which makes it easier on the students and faculty.
What impressed you negatively?
Richmond is only a so-so city. MCV's reputation is strong in the Mid-Atlantic and South, but not as big in other regions of the country.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The school has a block schedule so you take a test every couple of weeks.
What are your general comments?
VCU/MCV is a much better school than I thought it was. The facilities are extremely nice and I think that leads to better patient care and opportunities for students. I was matched with a medical scientist who has similar research to mine so it was obvious that they'd thoroughly considered my application before I showed up.
