💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What do you think about socialized medicine?
What do you think about the new heathcare bill?
Why would you move to VA from Alaska?

What was the most interesting question?

We talked about the biggest reasons that docotrs get their licenses rejected. (sexual misconduct and drug use) Not really a question but it stemmed from my answer to, "Tell us about a time your morals have been challenged."

What was the most difficult question?

They were all very standard. I have read that the interviewers here really push the candidate on ethics and such. That really wasn't the case for me.

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN and got 12 hours of sleep the night before!

What impressed you positively?

The students were laid back.

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't feel like the school did a good job of strutting it's stuff. Although they did try. Maybe I just wasn't that enthralled with the place. Then again I could really see myself there.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I should have rented a car to explore the area better. Usually I would have but I was really tired. I like the parts of the city I did get to see.

What are your general comments?

EVMS seems pretty cool. I'm interested to see how it shakes out in my list of acceptances (if I get in that is!).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

None
