What impressed you positively?

Interviewers and admission staff were very nice. Students were very nice and are willing to talk and give pointers. The standardized patient demonstration was great and gives insight to the school's focus on early clinical experience. Love the small, tight-knit feeling of the school and the Norfolk area.

One thing I noticed is that I wasn't asked the specific questions-Why do you want to become a doctor or Why medicine? Just remember to try to put those reasons into the questions that you are asked. Overall, I really liked the school, the area, and the friendliness of the admissions staff and students.
