"The close knit community of students, the interest of the professors and staff, the Children's Hospital, the demeanor of my interviewers." Report Response
"The gross anatomy and multi-disciplinary labs are indeed pretty dilapidated, with poor ventilation and dated equipment. It seems like a very small town. The weather, as well; I had hoped it would be colder, but it's probably good it wasn't." Report Response
"That EVMS has a lot of fascinating research going on, including a potential cure (!) for diabetes (regrowth of pancreatic islets,) and some good stuff on concomitantly improving contraception and preventing disease (ie, HIV) transmission." Report Response
"Stiff in my suit with thirteen other prospectives, we spent the day being lectures to and led around the school. These are not bad things; the lectures were short and germane, and the tour was student-led and hit all the relevant facilities, including classrooms, labs, lounge/study areas, the Children's Hospital, the skills practice clinic, library, etc, etc. Particularly striking was the very first thing in the day, which was a demonstration of the Standardized Patient program, in which a very brave prospective consented to do a difficult interview of a depressed woman. The admissions interview was at the end of the day, which allows one to queue up a great deal of interesting material about the school before hand. My interlocutors were an older physician doing research in infectious disease, and a second-year med student. The feel was informal, a series of broad questions drawn from my application to allow greater explanation of some of the points therein. The much-vaunted ethical question was interesting, and I worked through to a decent answer, which allowed for several minutes conversation on the rules involved and a bit more digression on the public health issues involved. It lasted 30 minutes, and I think I did well overall. Keep reading this site; it works." Report Response
