No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

AMCAS, UVM brochure, SDN, previous interviews

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the staff and students, and their enthusiasm for the VIC. Also the VIC itself and how much the school seems invested in the success of its students.

What impressed you negatively?

Burlington - it's small, 3 hours from anywhere interesting, and very windy due to its location on Lake Champlain.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you have to be a VT resident for a year BEFORE you apply or it's basically impossible to take advantage of in-state tuition rates at any point during your 4 years there.

What are your general comments?

UVM seems very focused on its students and their success. The VIC is a very well-planned curriculum, and the faculty appear very dedicated to making it work for every student. I wish we had more time to meet with students, since the tour was given by an admissions staff person. All in all, a pleasant experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
