Gevitz, VCOM website, DO websites

What impressed you positively?

Everything

What impressed you negatively?

The school has lots of UNKNOWNS, there is an escrow account setup so if the school for some reason shuts down you might have to finish your education somewhere else...I am glad they thought about that, but it just shows how even they are not 100% sure about the school,,,AND its 30,000 dollars a year, a lot more expensive than the other DO schools that are established

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

You are required to take COMLEX and USMLE. You can only go to the barns of virginia for clinical rotations and they are highly selective and strict in maintaining the rotation sites to be in rural area. Basically they want to force students to endure 4 years of rural life so they will opt to do their residency in the rural virginia area

What are your general comments?

Interviews were not strict at all. The staff is incredibly helpful, nice and attentive. Blacksburg is a good town, but it is sleepy and rural.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
