What are your general comments?

I expected to get grilled based on the reviews posted on Student Doctor Network, but felt very comfortable. My interview was more of a candid conversation about residencies, the non-importance of research in obtaining a residency, the quality of contacts at EVMS for securing a surgical residency, and my experiences at undergrad (both my interviewers were UVA-grads).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
