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.
