What are your general comments?
Don't let other's impressions of Richmond fool you. Yes, the area around the school and hospital itself is not so great but if you have time, check out the Fan area of Richmond where there are GREAT places to live, highly acclaimed restaurants, local music, etc. All of Richmond is NOT like the area surrounding the hospital.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What is the one thing the U.S. has done to turn the Middle East against us?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read AAMCAS application, supplemental application, this website.
What impressed you positively?
The interviewer was very nice and laid back - he just asked some very strange questions. I am not muslim yet somehow we got into a religious discussion regarding islam, the middle east, U.S. foreign policy, support/non-support of Israel, the Palestinian problem, etc etc. We hardly talked about medicine at all.
What impressed you negatively?
See above - I didn't know whether to take this positively or negatively - it was just strange!!!!
