How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read over my application.

What impressed you positively?

The technology, how friendly everyone was, the anatomy lab was great (wonderful ventilation system + very big windows with great views). I love the campus at Tech and Blacksburg is a great town (Note: I'm a bit biased since I'm a VT undergrad :) )

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Overall it was a good experience. The morning started with a presentation on VCOM and osteopathic medicine, then we had the actual interviews, then a tour of the med school, followed by lunch, a tour of Blacksburg, financial aid meeting, and then a meeting detailing how you would be contacted if accepted, how many seats were left, etc.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
