✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN interview feedback, looked at posts on SDN, read up about WVSOM through their website, reviewed some commonly asked interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities are amazing, and the campus is beautiful. They emphasized how available the faculty is to the students, and the students seem to be a pretty close-knit group of colleagues.

What impressed you negatively?

Lewisburg is quite small compared to where I am from, so if I end up going to WVSOM I realize that I will have to make some major adjustments.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing; I had done enough research about WVSOM and the interview process to feel relatively prepared for the day.

What are your general comments?

The entire day, including the interview, was welcoming and laid-back. I liked my interviewers, and they seemed very receptive to what I was saying. Many of their questions went off of my responses, or were based on my application. WVSOM is wonderful and the faculty and students (some of whom you get to meet when you go out to lunch with them)are very kind and open to any questions that you might have. Everyone is easy to talk to. I hope that others have the great experience that I had.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
