What are your general comments?
I got the most difficult set of interviewers but I truly enjoyed the questions they asked me. It was a great interview and I felt like they were really trying to get to know me. It was a great experience.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why EVMS? Especially since it is so far away from your home state.
What was the most interesting question?
A beauty pageant queen comes into your office with a mass in her breast. Her boyfriend tells you not to tell her what's wrong with her because it will destroy her. Her mother calls you later that same day to say the same thing. What do you do?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read SDN interview feedback, reread my secondary.
What was the most difficult question?
Sum yourself up in a 30 second sound byte that we can present to the admissions committee. Include why you above all of the other applicants from your state should be accepted.
What impressed you positively?
The facilities are amazing. The children's hospital is one of the best that I have ever seen. The students all really care about each other--the faculty also cares about the students. Students not only have classes with professors but the professors also participate in community service with the students. Very helpful, welcoming environment.
What impressed you negatively?
Norfolk looks a little depressing but I think it's just different from anything else that I have ever experienced. They have a really great mall and a really great part of town as well--they have to with all the doctors.
