How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, visited the school, web-site

What impressed you positively?

facilities were good, VT affiliation, and all the expansions. Seems like a great place to go to med school!

What impressed you negatively?

I heard a number of times of how some professors were nice people but not so great teachers ( pathology maybe? )

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I cannot help feel that some decisions regarding an applicant were already determined before he/she stepped into the school for interview day. I felt my interview went very well and all my stats were right up there with their averages but then I got a rejection letter.

What are your general comments?

Great school however, I wish the admissions committee were a bit more consistent.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
