How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback, SDN, my secondary app and AACOMAS

What impressed you positively?

Facilities, Virginia Tech affiliation, Blacksburg. The anatomy lab is one of the best I've ever seen.

What impressed you negatively?

The van tour was a little long.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Three interviewers isn't as intimidating as it sounds.

What are your general comments?

Don't judge this school because other feedback slams the admissions office. You'll only deal with them once or twice in your four-year career. VCOM is an awesome school and I'm happy to be attending there next fall! Several of my classmates turned down some really good schools to go to VCOM.
