How did you prepare for the interview?

Just read my essay answers for the secondary and looked at the website briefly. One interviewer concentrated on my essay answers so watch out!

What impressed you positively?

The hospital and library are gorgeous. The labs and classrooms are slightly lamer but overall the campus is wonderful. Also the adjacent undergrad campus is cool.

What impressed you negatively?

I felt that the interviewers were almost passive-agressively attacking me. I don't think they were trying to but they weren't the warmest and they seemed skeptical.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Unlike other schools I interviewed at, Virginia's curriculum is still fairly conservative. Lots of lecture time, three or four classes simultaneously (instead of a block schedule with one class at a time). Yikes.

What are your general comments?

I was fairly impressed by the school and the students but it falls short of other schools in what I'm looking for. Charlottesville is a surprisingly happening place though.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
