"The only ethical/hypothetical question I was asked: You are working in the ER and a gentleman who has been in a serious car accident arrives with severe bleeding. You are able to stop some of the bleeding but not all of it, and the patient's blood pressure is dropping. You realize that in order for him to survive, you will need to order a blood transfusion. However, his chart says he wants no blood or blood products of any kind because of his religious beliefs. The patient is unconscious and there are no family members around. What do you do? (For questions like these, keep in mind the patient's wishes, and any legal repercussions of acting contrary to a patient's desires)" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"What do I want out of a medical school? (Both interviewers asked this question)" Report Response | I was asked this question too

"The atmosphere at UVa was open and welcoming. The interviews were more like conversations, where the admission committee members seemed genuinely interested in getting to know me. The students who gave the tour (there were 3 of them) were enthusiastic about the school, and provided a lot of useful information. Lunch was awesome!! The campus is quite beautiful. I was impressed by the faculty's desire to get to know each student, and to have some sort of involvment in their education. Rent doesn't look too bad. Very thorough financial aid presentation."

"What a great school UVa is! I'd heard mixed reviews. The students definitely seem to enjoy it!" Report Response
"The interview day starts about 11, and I interviewed with only 4 other students. The atmosphere was comfortable and friendly. You attend an admissions session first, followed by a superb lunch (no box lunches here!) and a fantastic tour. Interviews are scheduled in half hour blocks, starting about 1:30 and going until 3 or 3:30. Then an optional financial aid presentation at 3:30 (this is definitely worth going to!). You're done about 4:15." Report Response
