How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read up on school, browsed sdn, practiced MMI scenarios

What impressed you positively?

Facilities are brand new and beautiful. They really do a lot to prepare physicians who have a strong foundation in research, and out of all the schools I've interviewed at they have the most opportunity to do legitimate research. Also liked that they have weeks off between each block, and that the area was beautiful! The hospital is incredible and every specialty you can imagine is present in the Carilion Clinic

What impressed you negatively?

Since it is so new still the area directly surrounding the school and hospital doesn't have a ton of stuff. Outside of school and hospital cafes there is currently just a Starbucks and a Moe's right across the street from what I saw.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How low-stress the reception is the night before.

What are your general comments?

I loved this school. They gave us a bus tour of Roanoke which was nice because you could be spending 4 years there! Other schools I've interviewed at I was only able to see the school and nothing else. Definitely go to the reception, talk to students, but also talk a lot to fellow applicants. I live in a major city now but really enjoyed the Roanoke area and the mountains right down the road. This was also probably the best hospital I've seen that has an associated medical school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
