"A lot of things! UVa is a great all-around school. They don't push you toward either primary care or research, and it's a good place if you want to specialize. The board scores are good, and the students seem very happy there. Also, the undergrad campus is beautiful, and you can use all the facilities like the gyms, libraries, buses, etc. for free. The best thing is that we'll hear about a decision within 2 weeks!" Report Response
"A little bit of culture shock, and the student body doesn't seem very diverse. Cost is somewhat prohibitive for out-of-staters, and there's little in the way of merit-based scholarships. Also, a discipline-based curriculum and not much patient contact in first few years." Report Response
"That there's no public transportation from the airport to the hospital and back, and a cab will cost you around $35." Report Response
"I stayed with a student host and had a great time! She showed me around the night before - Charlottesville is a really cool college town with a surprising amount of stuff to do. The interviews are not confrontational at all, but be prepared for an ethical scenario or two, and be able to talk about your essays. Your interviewers will be adcom members, either faculty or 4th-year students (most likely one of each). The time slots are only 30 minutes." Report Response
