What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How would your roommate describe your strengths? Your weaknesses?
What do you know about the health care system
Why EVMS?

What was the most interesting question?

one that I expected.. you have 1 liver for transplant and 3 possible candidates.. one is a little girl, one is an 80 yr old philanthropist who promises to donate millions to the hospital, and one is a 60 year old ex vietnam war veteran who is an alcoholic. they are all equal on the match list and they all have equal chances of survival. who would you pick, and how would you explain your decision to the other 2?

What was the most difficult question?

see above. i really didn't expect them to say they were equal on the list and had equal chances of survival. they really want to see how u come to your conclusion because there is no right answer -- don't be afraid what you pick, just make sure you have good reasons to defend your decision.

What are your general comments?

Got there real early. At 10 o clock we went into a room where Jim Kiraly told us bout how EVMS trains physicians to really care for their patients -- then a demonstration w/ a standardized patient (great job sarah). then we got to tour the children's hospital, and then a 2nd year student gave us a good feel of how student life is like. we stopped so much because so many of the students were kind enough to share their own experiences and help us with any interview/general questions. the interview was 2 on 1 and both my interviewers were AWESOME. i love this school right now.
