Skimmed the EVMS website

What impressed you positively?

Their children's hospital -- it was beautiful and I would love to have a rotation there.

What impressed you negatively?

Norfolk does not seem like a fun place to live for someone in their 20s. The area around it is pretty sketchy and overall the area has an empty feel.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

I'm not sure if it was just me or my interviewers, but my panel completely turned me off the school. Every other interview I've been on has made me love the medical school even more, yet at EVMS, the interviewers weren't remotely friendly. One of them seemed a bit smug while the others challenged everything I said.
