How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over the SDN interview feedback, and thought about things.

What impressed you positively?

Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters. Three words: indoor pirate ship.

What impressed you negatively?

The med school is really just one building on the grounds of a hospital.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interview wasn't THAT bad. Everybody says the EVMS interviews are rough, but mine turned out to be very reasonable.

What are your general comments?

Looking through the SDN interview feedback and talking to people on the forums, you learn that EVMS tends to be sticklers for ethical questions and tend to try and make you sweat. My interview, though, was great. They asked tough but reasonable questions that you'd expect a future doctor to have an opinion on.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
