✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read EVMS website, read SDN, reviewed healthcare policy, reviewed my application.

What impressed you positively?

The cohesiveness of the student body (according to student presenters)

What impressed you negatively?

A med student said hi to a professor and the professor totally blew him off and walked away. Did not reflect positively on the approachability of the faculty, although maybe that's not normal behavior for them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

My panel was missing the third person (no medical student, so a lot of the questions for EVMS I had prepared became irrelevant because the faculty did not have the insight into student life to answer that kind of question.

What are your general comments?

Seems like a nice school that treats its students well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
