What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that UVA just switched to pass/fail in the first two years!

What are your general comments?

Very relaxing- just six interviewees so it didn't feel overwhelming. I liked getting questions answered by our med student tour guides. Don't stress about these interviews- they were both short and relatively relaxed- but at the end of the day so by that time I was pretty tired already.
