How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on the school's website and SDN feedback, read over my secondary essays.

What impressed you positively?

The new curriculum sounds very cool, and all the students I met love the place. And the lunch!

What impressed you negatively?

Charlottesville is cute, but it might be a bit small for me....

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much school pride the med school students have.

What are your general comments?

This is a great school with an exciting new curriculum and med school building. The students seemed extremely happy, and I got the feeling that UVa makes an effort to let you pursue your interests outside medicine. Also, the most well organized (i.e. short!) interview day I've been on and the quickest response time ever!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
