The Appalachians are very underserved. If you want to go into medicine to work with people that have very little medical care, this is the place to go. It may take some time to get used to the town (small), but the students I met seemed well adjusted. This is the perfect place to study medicine, because there are very few distractions.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
The people. Some of the friendliest people I have ever met. The students were also very nice. Seemed to be going into medicine for the right reasons. Also, you know very soon whether you got in or not. (3 days for me)
What impressed you negatively?
Facilities were sort of small, but I believe they will always be adding on to what they have. Keep in mind this is a new school.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That it was so laid back. I was stressed all week for no reason. Within one minute of the interview, I was totally calm.
