"The admission staff and most of the interviewers were very friendly. The technology at the facility was state of the art. They have these awesome smart boards (white boards), that prints what you write on them. You can even post it on your website. The anatomy lab was also wonderful. Each table had its own vent. There were also windows, as it was on the third floor, and you could see the mountains. The faculty, staff, and students also seemed very caring about their community. " Report Response

"The day starts at 8:30 Am. First there is a presentation of osteopathic medicine and VCOM. Then at 9:30 AM the interviews start. There are three one on one interviews (supposedly one of them are on the admissions committee and the other two present to the panel). Each interview is about 30 minutes. It is mostly conversational and they ask questions from your application. Only one of my interviewers seemed to be a bit drilling. The interviews end around 11:30 AM and was followed by a tour of the awesome facility. A lot of the faculty have dual appointments at VCOM and Virginia Tech. So the school also has a research component to it. After the tour we had a lunch with a first year and second year student. Then we took a tour of Blacksburg in a Van. This was nice because they showed us VT and various housing complexes. At 2:15 we had a financial aide and registrar presentation and then a wrap up. The interview ended around 3:00. Overall it was a great experience. " Report Response
