💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why UVM? Why medicine?

What was the most interesting question?

Who's your role model?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read through the school website, reviewed my AMCAS app, practiced some questions

What was the most difficult question?

Honestly, there were none. My interview was very conversational.

What impressed you positively?

Great facilities, friendly students, beautiful campus. The new curriculum seems to work really well, and the students do not have to worry about competition for grades or class rank. Also, perfect place for someone who isn't that enthusiastic about living in a huge urban area for the next four years.

What impressed you negatively?

Pricey! $42,000/year for OOS just for tuition--and you can't become instate once you apply.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You can stay with a med student--you just have to hunt around the UVM med site to find the list of hosts.
