What was the most difficult question?

If George Bush was on the phone right now, and you had exactly one minute to tell him how to solve our healthcare crisis, what would you say? The interviewer then interrupted me (my ramblings I should say) by saying, "Your minute is up, he has hung up on you."

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, prepared questions, talked to myself..a lot:)

The friendliness of the staff, the nice facilities (anatomy lab is amazing), the proximity to VA Tech.

What impressed you negatively?

The cafeteria was pathetic, the library is sparse (even though it's mostly electronic, I like to see some hardbacks)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, they had laid out the interview day nicely and there were no surprises

What are your general comments?

From the very beginning, I was impressed. The interview group was small (three others) and they started with an overview of the school. The individual interviews took place afterwards (40 min. each X three interviews) and they were all very laid back, and mostly conversation-style. Each interviewer had their own style, but they were all nice and helpful. After a tour of the facilities, we had lunch, which was horrendous, but we were accompanied by a couple of students, which made it informative at least. They seemed very happy to be there. Then, one of the nicest ladies you'll ever meet, Megan Price, took us on a tour of Blacksburg, Tech, and the surrounding areas. Finally, the financial aid meeting and the day ended ala 3:30.
