💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
On my AMCAS I had lots of extracurriculars and they pretty much had researched them well and just asked me about all of those.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read over my AMCAS, essays, SDN.
What impressed you positively?
The interviewers were very positive from the beginning stating that they were my liason to the admissions committee and that the purpose of the interview was to help them defend me.
The M4 tour guide told us it was easy to find research, as he did over the summer, was paid for it, and got published!
The student body is actively involved in community support (at least 100 hours mandatory to graduate but everyone overdoes this on their own).
"No student here is ever bored in their free time".
It's the primary Cancer referral site in the state and my interest is in Oncology.
People were in general really friendly all around Morgantown.
Lots of surrounding outdoor activities (skiing, hiking, biking, etc...). They have one of the best gym facilities in the country (though it's not near the Health Sciences Campus, WVU has this neat little tram system that takes you everywhere pretty conviently).
What impressed you negatively?
The construction going on, but it will eventually be a good thing in the near future.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
When looking for a hotel in Morgantown to stay at, really research which ones are close to the hotel as some of the hotels they give you on the list they send out are 15 min. away.
