What are your general comments?

"Interview was a little stressful, since it is by a group, but they're very nice. I really think that the students genuinely believe in helping each other. There seems to be little to no competition between them, which is great. Fantastic school. Since it is new, it doesn't have the repuation of other schools, and can be looked down upon for that, which is completely a farce! They can't rely on a history, so they do everything they can to make sure that they create a wonderful environment for teaching and patient care. I've heard from doctors who say they can tell which residents are from EVMS (in a good way)- that says a lot. I see others complaining about Norfolk, but I've spent time there, it's actually a pretty cool place. On top of that, there are seven cities right there (Hampton Roads), giving innumerable experiencess locally (along with Virgnia Beach to relax). " Report Response
