How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN like no other( very reliable). read a health care book.(health care reform now!) , read wash u's ethical website. uptoddate on health or policy current events

What impressed you positively?

the ped hospital. very nice facility. the students!!! very nice very helpful. the whole student seems to get along really well. no competition.

What impressed you negatively?

none, but if i had to choose something. its not a big city. biased because im from chicago. no professional sports team. there is a minor league though.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

if you have a 330 interview you will atleast 2 hours of nothing. bring a book to keep you occupied. dont book your flight to close to your interview. mine went longer than i thought it would. i was panicing to get my cab and go to the airport asap.

What are your general comments?

i thought it went well. im glad i didnt do my interview first thing i got there. going on the tour and talking to students made my answer to ''why evms'' alot more genuine. I had time to collect my thoughts and give an answer from first hand experience. I like how they emphasized clinical experience. which i think is a plus. the student body is what attracts me the most. they seem like work hard party hard types. alot of social activities are planned throughout the year.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
