How did you prepare for the interview?

"Didn't prepare nearly as well as I should have. They asked "why EVMS?" and i had not printed out my secondary since sending it in, and I'm pretty sure my answer in the interview did not match my answer on the secondary. I certainly recommend looking at some bioethics questions before the interview. " Report Response

What impressed you positively?

"Interview on Friday.. they show you Children's Hosptial of the Kings Daughters which is out of this world. The entire hospital looks more like a toy-store/sandcastle than a hosptial.. definitley looks like a pleasure to work at that hospital. The student-body also seemed very laid-back and genuine with regards to thier other classmates. There seems to be a "chill" attitude that maybe stems from being so close to the beach? Also saw some pretty blond ladies at the school. " Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"The disproportionate amount of time spent on discussing the standardized patient program made me wonder what the heck is wrong with the rest of the curriculum! Also the actual "campus" of EVMS seemed really like three buildings and a parking garage. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Intimidating if you let it get to you, make sure to make eye contact with all three members not just the head gal/guy. Stick with your answerseven if you get grilled. " Report Response
