it was okay. the facilities are not that nice and the location isnt ideal, but the students seem happy and they have a high pass rate for boards which is what really matters anyway.....
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
everything was about my application....
What was the most interesting question?
nothing really...the interviewer mostly asked questions about my application. She hadnt read it, so she wanted me to pretty much repeat everything I had written.
How did you prepare for the interview?
I read up on the school, re-read my amcas and secondary apps, read up on current healthcare issues....u. of washington site was very helpful
What impressed you positively?
the students seemed really happy, and the faculty cares a lot about the well-being of the students. There is a professor who wrote a book that students at other med schools use. That same professor apparently sits down with 2nd year med students and helps them develop good study skills for school and for boards. that's pretty awesome
What impressed you negatively?
the campus wasnt very nice and i didnt feel really safe driving into richmond...but it might be because I was comparing it to my undergrad campus, which is so beautiful.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
i wish i wasnt so nervous and that i was more articulate!
