How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over my primary and secondary, SDN, reviewed "generic" interview questions, but I found that I didn't even need to- just be yourself and know yourself.

What impressed you positively?

SOME of the facilities were good, the school and hospital obviously have a good reputation, Charlottesville is a nice area, they explain financial aid in great detail (optional meeting).

What impressed you negatively?

3rd year is spent all over the state, which seems like a pain; the population they see is not really a cross-section of America, since they treat mostly rural patients; the emphasis for clinical experience is less than desirable (partially because of the population), and the experiences in the community seem to be quite few.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

Good place, good hospital. The education seems to be quite good, but they seem to be lagging behind with patinet interaction (even simulated), which is becoming more important to students, and is easily better covered at other Virgnia schools. If you're into going to a school based on reputation, and not on what you'll experience, it's fantastic.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
