How did you prepare for the interview?

web site, and re-read my secondary application.

What impressed you positively?

Their association with Virginia Tech, and the amount of research facilities they have and plan to build.

What impressed you negatively?

VCOM goes to school year round and does not have a break during the summer. But you do not finish any earlier because you get 1-2 wks between blocks of instruction.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Basically the block method of instruction.

What are your general comments?

Great school, great professors, great location - but the method of instruction kind of threw me. They do have one on one instructor tutoring if you ask or start to have difficulties.
