How did you prepare for the interview?

Read over my essays, CV, SDN, and interview feedback (really helpful).

What impressed you positively?

How nice the staff treats the interviewees (professional, kind, and even treated us for lunch!). The improvements made on campus (med library, undergrad library, etc) ever since i finished the certificate program in 2002. The improvements in the surrounding community (new shopping centers and stores).

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. MCV is my top choice.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

My interviewer was extremely nice and started out by going over some of my experiences and complimenting my efforts since graduating undergrad in '99. He told me a little about himself and then asked me questions regarding some of my experiences. Then he asked me some bioethics questions followed by some discussion about his thoughts. It was my first med school interview and I was completely at ease. Dont stress! MCV just wants to get to know you and how you think.
