💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

They asked really specific ?s about classes I've taken... not grades, but more so what the classes were about and what I learned.
What would you do as an advisor to Obama/McCain about health care in the US?

What was the most interesting question?

What do doctors do... and dont just say 'help people'?

What was the most difficult question?

Nothing was really difficult... you should be prepared for the ethical questions though... abortion, physician assisted suicide, etc. They will push you on these, just make sure you hold fast to what you believe the right decision to be. One of my interviewers gave me a really hard time, but after the interview said I analyzed it nicely.

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, AMCAS, EVMS Website

What impressed you positively?

Children's hospital is amazing. Ms. Williams was really helpful.

What impressed you negatively?

Had to pay for the parking deck... Norfolk traffic and the Hampton Roads area traffic in general really sucks... I did not receive information about staying with a current student until the week of my interview, which was not helpful. I wish I could have heard back sooner to take advantage of that great opportunity.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How to get back on the highway from EVMS... I got lost :(

What are your general comments?

EVMS was wonderful... the students were really helpful, and gave lots of helpful hints throughout the day. The day was very low-stress.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
