What are your general comments?
I was extremely stressed not only bc it was a panel interview but also bc this was my very first interview. My other interviewees were very social, EVMS students were really nice (a lot of them who were passing in halls stopped to talk to us). Im sure after a few years, when this school is able to become more visible to applicants, its reputation will soar.

What was the most difficult question?
questions werent really difficult, i just wasnt used to answering ethics/policy questions. suffice to say, I am now :)
What impressed you positively?
great clinical training, nice facilities, non-competitive atmosphere, enthusiastic and genuinely nice students (our student tour guide brought us to the exact room we would be interviewing in and told us some interview questions that she and other students had been asked in previous yrs), very high board scores, matched three students into derm last yr which is great for a relatively new school that not many know about

location! although its ~15 min from virginia beach, the surrounding area is like a seaside town, not much culture, not much to do except go to the beach. as expected, student body isnt very diverse

nothing much. i was surprised the school did so well on the boards, and the facilities were very nice with a beautiful library
