How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, talked to friends who had their interviews already at WVSOM, Career Services at school

What impressed you positively?

How friendly everyone really is! Random people came up to us throughout the day and talked to us. I sat in on a problem based session...mixed emotions which need to be further clarified if I were accepted. Definitely a learning atmosphere. I want to practice in rural areas and WVSOM has national rankings in primary care.

What impressed you negatively?

Out of state tuition is $$$!!!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

WV is very beautiful. It's not diverse but people weren't indifferent. They were actually curious about my culture.

What are your general comments?

I enjoyed my day in West Virginia. The Lewis Inn is really nice. It was was relaxing to start the day with two faculty members. They just got us talking and I'm sure they read our files prior to the breakfast cause they seemed to target each interviewee about somethign or the other. My actual interview felt stressed. I felt my answers didnt measure up to their expectations.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
