What impressed you positively?

The area-the beach is 25 min away and downtown Norfolk is growing. The students-all are laid back and extremely friendly. CHKD-a really nice pediatrics hospital. And the effort by the school to make sure students have a life outside of classes.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The interview itself was bad. There are also no opportunities for research.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That you can park on the streets adjacent to Colley Ave. and not have to pay 8$ for the lot.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The facilities, campus, and students were very impressive. The interview itself was what was a negative experience for me. EVMS will surely scare away potentially good students becuase their interview process is poor. It needs to become a better school before it requires one to undergo such a painstaking process for admission. Its lack of research opporunities is a concern for me, but if not accepted into a more research oriented school I would go here for the location and the congeniality of its students.
