No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, UW Bioethics website, school website, secondary, jumbo margarita at Guadalajara down the street

What impressed you positively?

Clinical exposure is great, homey atmosphere. 90+% get top two residency choices? That's hard to believe.

What impressed you negatively?

The school's lack of reputation left me feeling a bit empty.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That there would be a dress code on Granby.

What are your general comments?

I loved my interviewers, and the group was small so it was fun meeting everyone there. Maybe because it's a young school, they don't have a lot to ways to "wow" you other than with their clinical contact and class cooperation. If you're down with that, you'll love EVMS.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
