read over FAQs on admissions website

What impressed you positively?

Cville was beautiful; lack of stress among students which may be due to P/F grading during first 2 yrs.

lack of student diversity (almost everyone was Caucasian..); facilities were subpar compared to peer institutions of similar caliber (new medical education bldg under construction for 2010)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I liked everything about the school, except the students. Some have a huge attitude problem, and others seem plainly dumb. I also did not enjoy talking to my student interviewer who was a 4th year. The quality of students at UVa reflected poorly on the school.
