"How friendly the staff and students were."
"The medical school building was nice. The campus looked nice and the library looked big. The students are nice and honest. I enjoyed the ‘game’ that allowed us to interact with other interviewees."
"The interviewers were so friendly and great listeners! Seriously the least stressful interview I've ever had."
"Nothing about the school negatively impressed me."
"My interviewer gaslighted me the entire time. She dismissed my personal experiences. She pretty much said representation doesn’t matter in medicine. Such a dangerous mindset to have- to be able to excuse patients hardships just because you were privileged enough to not have to deal with those issues. I asked a few students about their experience at VCOM and they described it as ‘backwards’ and that they were soely here for the degree but leaving once they graduated. They had positive things to say about the faculty though so maybe my interviewer was just having a bad day."
"Great rest the night before and eat breakfast because the in-person day is long and you won’t eat until 1pm."
"I think it's easy for some applicants on zoom to zone out and look bored even if they're not, so try to smile and interact as much as you can !"
"Great interview style. 3 interviews with different professors that lasted about 30 min a piece. I was way more relaxed and comfortable with communication after the first interview. The second and third interviews felt more conversational rather than question and answer"
