What impressed you positively?
The high tech. building. Virginia Tech campus was quite nice. The faculty and admissions personnel were all very nice and didn't hound you about any shortcomings (MCAT) but highlighted the positives. They made you feel welcome and want to sell the school to you by allaying any worries concerning the school's newness.
What impressed you negatively?
vague responses regarding how they integrate early clinical experiences into the curriculum and exactly how they mesh the systems-based curriculum in with individual classes such as epidemiology.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
use the school's map on the website to get there- not yahoo maps or any other outdated map- was lost a long time before finding the school and because the school is so new many people in the area haven't heard of the school yet so they can't offer you good directions
What are your general comments?
It was a pleasant experience, the school was nice and has much promise, and the faculty/staff all seem to be very optimistic about the future of the school. It also seemed as though the admissions director, who gave the tour of VT, and interviewers were genuinely glad that you were there.
