What are your general comments?
Arrived at VCOM at 8:30, 5 other students. Met Megan, the sweetest, most bubbly person ever! She really does a great job of selling the school. An overiew of VCOM given until 9:30am and then the interviewers come and pick you up. My interviews were all great, very converstational, the last one had a list of questions he asked me..not hard..then we were given a tour of the school..great Anatomy lab(no smell), had lunch and then taken on a tour of the town and VTech campus. At 2pm we were given a presentation on from finacial aid and the registrar's office. Then the day was ended by talking about the admission process and how many seats were left(scary) and how the waitlist works. All in all a fantastic day and experience..I loved everything about VCOM!!
