How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reviewed current ethical issues, SDN, AMCAS app, and EVMS secondary

What impressed you positively?

The standardized patient program seemed incredible, students were happy to be there, new library, availability of numerous community health initiatives

What impressed you negatively?

Norfolk wasn't anything to write home about, lack of affiliated teaching hospital, lack of name recognition, tuition cost out of state

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The school doesn't validate parking so expect to have $8 on hand. Also, because you may have several hours off between lunch and your interview, bring something to read

What are your general comments?

Everyone was worried about the ethical questions that would be asked, but I did not encounter any questions of that nature. My interviewers were pretty laid back, and asked good "thinking" questions, but I didn't get the feeling that they wanted to trip me up. Overall, the interview wasn't too stressful, but make sure you prepare for "standard" questions about your motivation, personal attributes, etc.
