How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Re-read my app and looked at UVA's website some.

What impressed you positively?

Next year (Fall 2010) UVA's going to roll out a brand new curriculum along with a huge, brand new building to centrally house the med school. The new building has 6,000 sq. ft. of simulation labs, another 6,000 sq. ft. of standardized patient areas, and tons of computers and technology. They both sound completely amazing. UVA also seems to care very much about having happy, well-rounded students. The interview shot UVA up to my top choice school except for maybe Pitt.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, it was very low key.

What are your general comments?

I left the interview really impressed with the school. The new curriculum sounds great, the new building sounds amazing, and everyone talked about wanting their med students to be happy and well-rounded. If I get accepted, I'll probably go there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
