✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Studentdoctor.net, reading books/magazines, answering commonly asked interview questions, etc.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone seemed so happy, seriously. The students are so laid back and happy it's scary. I liked the place better than I thought I would, but have nothing to compare it to yet since it was my first interview/visit.

What impressed you negatively?

Having always lived in cities, Norfolk is well...Norfolk. Also, the "campus" it kind of small. I have a feeling other schools' facilties surpass those of EVMS, but have nothing to really base that on other than suspicion.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I knew to spend enough time in Norfolk and walking around the campus to see if I could really envision myself attending the school. I arrived late at night the night before, stayed in a hotel, had a quick tour of the building/hospital, had the interview and left.

What are your general comments?

NOT NEARLY as stressfull as this website makes it out to be! Not nearly as stressful as friends made it out to be! Don't worry...they really don't attack you. My interview was extremely laid back.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
