What impressed you positively?

schools organization, motivation of faculty and staff to make VCOM the best of the best, area is nice

What impressed you negatively?

not that many clinical rotation sites and none outside the southern Virginia area as far as I can see...

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The actual medical building won't be finished till April and meeting for the actual interview takes place at their temporary location, make sure you get that address! P.S. VCOM wants its grads to take both COMLEX and USMLE throughout.

What are your general comments?

Interviewers were extremely nice. Dean Rawlins has put together an excellent urriculum. Facilities will be state of the art, faculty are motivated and highly qualified.
