"A 14 year old female from a Hispanic migrant worker community comes into your clinic saying she thinks she's pregnant. What do you do? (ummm...i completely messed this question up, every answer I came up with was shot down or corrected, not cool)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"read through EVMS site, reviewed research, reviewed secondary" Report Response
"the hospital tour was very thorough and extremely cool, the warm atmosphere, reasonably happy students, big emphasis on community service, big emphasis on learning excellent clinical skills" Report Response
"not as many research opportunities, some med students complained that EVMS lacks the "prestige/recognition" of other medical schools, also that unpleasant lady who comes in before interviews to tell you what to do and what to say to impress your interviewers (I thought we were supposed to be ourselves, why are you telling us what to do like we're a bunch of five year olds?)" Report Response
"you may have to wait anywhere from 45-90 minutes for your interview, so bring something to do to calm your nerves. lots of ethical dilemma questions. Also, show up to your interview 15 minutes before its scheduled, some interviewers like to wrap it up early and move on to the next candidate (one interviewer got especially nasty about it)." Report Response
"good school, pleasant atmosphere, like the focus on developing great clinicians...the interviewers didn't seem to love EVMS though (red flag?)" Report Response
