How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked over my application and the WVU website.

What impressed you positively?

Students were very affable. The curriculum is constantly being changed to help the student. New facilities. Pretty city.

What impressed you negatively?

Traffic is horrendous for a small town and I went when undergrads weren't even in session!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The level of construction is pretty intense and the location is a bit difficult to find. Map it out ahead of time.

What are your general comments?

Went into a room with 4 other people. The admissions coordinator came in and talked with us and then we toured the school with 3 3rd year med students. We had lunch and then we were taken back to the room and interviewed sequentially. As of the 1st of the year, the class is only half full, so that's good news.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
