No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read their website, read my personal statements, talked to current students

What impressed you positively?

Charlottesville is a really great town to live in, all the students seem totally relaxed and happy, there are some great opportunities to see medicine in many different settings, lots of computer facilities

What impressed you negatively?

Not much- the facilities aren't top of the line but they can still do the job.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

4th year tour guides encouraged wearing sandals or a more comfortable outfit for the tour which occurs before the interviews.

What are your general comments?

I arriced the night before the itnerview and stayed with a 1st year host, which I totally recommend doing. I got a lot of my questions answered about the school, the interview, and going through the med school process as a whole. Plus I was able to go to classes the next day before the interview. There are 6 people interviewing on one day so it's not a huge crowd of people. Everyone says it, but the interviews at UVA are VERY relaxed, and the interviewers are very nice. You get the sense that they are totally on your side and really do want to know you better. One interviewer pulled heavily from my AMCAS personal statement rather than my UVA essays. This was the best possible interview experience I could have hoped for.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
