What impressed you positively?

The food was great, as fabled. It was interesting to have fourth year student give the tour, the provided an interesting perspective on medical school and UVa. All of the people seemed excited about the interviewees.

What impressed you negatively?

I wish that I could have met more students. It is hard to tell if you will fit into a place only meeting two fourth years.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Charlottesville is a great town with lots to do.

What are your general comments?

Both of my interviews were very conversational. The interview with the medical student was a little more intense; although she did not ask any &quot;hard&quot; questions. Mostly, they want to get to know you, and make sure you are normal.
