Summary of Experience:
They sent me an interview invite before I completed my secondary. I saw what secondary required and since I don\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t live in the same city as my undergrad, decided I didn\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t want to go through the trouble since I have multiple interviews already and expecting a few more. Hopefully this won\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\'t come back to bite me in the ass
Summary of Experience:
Super relaxed environment. Staff was friendly and interviewers did not really grill anyone I talked to about their application. Everyone seemed very pleased by their experience. I really liked how they have their electives set up
Summary of Experience:
Great experience with interviewers and other interviewees. Really laid back environment and easy-going interview. Got served subway for lunch(bonus points in my book). Really impressed with newly updated facilities. Person from admissions mentioned expanding next year to 138 students. School has tuition guarantee where the tuition you pay your first year is the same amount you will pay for the duration of med school
Summary of Experience:
My interviewers didn\'t really grill me with any tough questions. It was an academically-blind interview, so basically I just explained my shadowing/volunteer experiences, hobbies, and what drew me to medicine. Had a nice lunch served to us and each interviewee had an MS2 show us around campus and eat with us at lunch to answer our questions. Didn\'t get to see U of L hospital, but saw the sim lab
Summary of Experience:
Impressive campus and facilities. Interesting history behind the school and Charlottesville.
Seemed to have a great student culture. I liked the idea behind the NxGen curriculum and the small group work that is used during their preclinical years
