How did you prepare for the interview?

UofW bioethics page, WSJ, various health care articles

What impressed you positively?

The emphasis and amount of community service completed each year- very impressive. There seemed to be a great deal of camraderie amongst students, which I feel is important in a medical school class. And of course the focus on clinical skills is a wonderful aspect of the school. Gosh I wish they had asked me why I wanted to attend EVMS...

What impressed you negatively?

My interview was very stressful as I was continually probed deeper and deeper for answers.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Well I thought I was prepared to deal with healthcare issues, but apparently I should have gotten an MBA before I interviewed. (that's overdramatic- really just study how the healthcare system works and what you can do to fix the problems of the uninsured) they just want to see how you react to stress so calm down!
