What impressed you positively?

The students and faculty there were all pleasant and knowledgable. The atmosphere was relaxed. Also one of only 7 or 8 colleges with schools in every field of healthcare.

What impressed you negatively?

Some of the nearby areas of Richmond. Not that I did not expect it considering it is a city.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

What are your general comments?

There were two 2 on 1 interviews of 20 minutes each and an essay. One is with a faculty and student and the other is an alumni and student, although my faculty and student was really with two faculty. I felt the alumni-student interview was very low stress (1) and the two faculty interview was a bit higher (5), but that was probably because I was nervous around the faculty. Also, the interviews were semi-closed file...the interviewers could see neither grades nor PCAT scores. The experience definately confirmed this school as my top choice.
