How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewing application materials/SDN interview feedback/reviewing commonly asked questions.

What impressed you positively?

Friendliness of students, interviewers and admissions staff. The curriculum. The clinical lab.

What impressed you negatively?

I'm not sure about Morgantown. I've heard it's a great place to live, but it seemed a rather dilapidated and dingy little place. To be fair, it was the middle of winter, and I didn't have the chance to explore too much.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Overall I was impressed. WVU is not a prestigious medical school, but it seems to be a solid program. Not everyone can go to Harvard or Hopkins, and I'd be happy to get my medical education here.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
