How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through AMCAS application and the UVA secondary.

What impressed you positively?

While some people will feel that the town is small, I enjoyed the atmosphere. The student body appeared to be very active, with many of the students talking about camping trips, tubing, pick-up basketball games, etc... Though there may be a self-selection bias in those who volunteer to lead tours and conduct interviews, I was surprised to find that each person with whom I spoke hoped to stay in Charlottesville for their residency.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was impressed by the quality of the facilities and the experience gained during away rotations. I was concerned that rotating at smaller clinics and rural hospitals may lead to a lack of responsibility/experience. I was told that this is not the case.

What are your general comments?

I was interviewed by a fourth year medical student and a practicing/teaching physician. Both interviews were informal and focused on an applicant's ability to relate to others.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
