💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
For the most part, the standard/traditional questions were asked and then the interviews turned into more of a conversation.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, mock interviews, planning certain answers to standard interview questions
What was the most difficult question?
You have one pint of blood for three patients who all need it or they will die - a seven year old girl with leukemia, a 70 year old man who was in a car accident, and a 30 year old who had just given birth to a baby. Who gets the blood? I was expecting this question, but I still had trouble answering it for some reason.
What impressed you positively?
VCOM is on top of things. The first block went smoothly. The students who had trouble with the first block were given extra help to pass - it sounded like a "leave no student behind" kind of plan. Also, the anatomy lab is state of the art.
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing. Although I do have to say people from Blacksburg love their Hokies!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The rental market is great - tons of apartments to choose from. However, if you are looking to buy in Blacksburg, the search may be long and drawn out.
