How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed the school's Internet site and walked around the town talking to shop owners and residents. You are almost certain to meet some first and second year students in the coffee shops during the evening hours. Everyone I met seemed to be really enthusiastic about the school and the small town setting in which it is located.

What impressed you positively?

The Dean seems very genuine about making you a great physician and encourages an open-door policy if any student has a problem or suggestions. The faculty will come in and teach overtime to help the students review before important exams. The campus is beautiful and very clean. The gross anatomy lab and lecture hall looks brand new and both are simply amazing. The residents of Lewisburg seem very proud of their town and speak well about the school and its students.

What impressed you negatively?

The school charges three-thousand dollars to reserve a spot if accepted. The fee is non-refundable; however, it is used towards your tuition. The school is also very expensive for people who are not West Virginia residents.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing. Everything went well.
