What are your general comments?

"Stayed with a student the night before the interview in student housing which was really helpful. I got to meet a bunch of students, and figure out what life as an EVMS student was really like. Arrived a bit early for the interview and was (unkindly) directed to wait in a students lounge outside the admissions office. Had SP demonstration which was neat, tours (mediocre) and then lunch. Found it interesting that during lunch when one admissions member was talking about the school the other two members were shuffling through papers and reading the newspapers. Didn't seem very respectful or give the impression of interest in the school. Tours were as previously described. Heavy on the ethical questions but both my interviewers (student and clinician) were very nice." Report Response
