Anyone know if there's been a facebook page setup for the class of 2016?
i'm going to be flying out the evening after my interview. Does the evms office have a place for us to hold our luggage?
Thanks!

evms has panel interviews??
that seems kinda intimidating.
lol i would throw up instantly if they went back and forth questioning me..how did you prepare for the ethical questions? premeds don't really have training in ethics...
do you recommend any books or online sources?
thanks,

I had 3 interviewers (as did everyone else on my interview day), but one of them did the majority of the talking. I believe only one of them is on the AdCom, and for me it was pretty obvious who it was. Though it was my first interview and I was crazy nervous, the panel interview wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. For what it's worth, you sit at the head of a long table with people on either side of you -- I had imagined facing 3 people who were on the other side of a desk facing me, which would have been scarier.
For those who have received admissions decisions, how soon after the interview did you call? The turnaround time seems to vary from a few days to several weeks. Did you have to call several times? Thanks.
Interviewing on 11/9.... booked a hotel but it was a little expensive ($119.) Any females interested in splitting, PM me
Rejected today

Good luck to everyone else!
complete date?
Can anyone comment on the curriculum here at EVMS. lecture or PBL? I was reading MSAR and it seems like is lecture based but there is weekly group discussion.
Thanks a lot.
The curriculum seemed to be mostly lecture-based/traditional, there wasn't any mention of a PBL component.
Accepted by phone last week and waiting anxiously for the official offer package!
Thanks man and congrats. I have been preparing for the interview (ethics questions and healthcare). Do you have any interview tips or other unusual questions that you had? thanks man

Thanks, I was surprisingly impressed with EVMS's program and facilities. My student tour guide told us straight up that this would probably our hardest MD interview but this is highly dependent on your interviewers. My interview, while intense, was really enjoyable and I walked away with my passion for medicine reaffirmed. I think they try to match applicants with at least one interviewer who shares their background/interests and my interviewers were just lovely. They'll put you on the spot to see how you react, to gauge your thought process and intentions. The ethical dilemma was fairly straightforward and again there's not right or wrong answer, just be thoughtful. Try to incorporate examples or anecdotes whenever possible. Good luck!
a lot of this is definitely true. they are tough but i think it's because they want to test your resolve. you just need to stand your ground and hold to your beliefs. my ethical question had to do with the underage patient, and everything they threw at me, i basically said i wouldn't tell the parents even though it started to get tougher for me to say it toward the end. eventually i sort of caved a little (by saying i'd encourage her to tell her parents) but they were impressed that i kept to my position. my interviewers at least were pretty obvious in their "feedback" because they'd sort of reply to my replies.
i think you should just be prepared for anything. they told us before we even went into interview that we'd for sure get asked about us healthcare + an ethical scenario. i also got a really tough question about one part of my app (the what i would like least about medicine question).
i loved the people i interviewed with, though, and the interview day is pretty great (LOVED interacting with the standardized patient!)

hi guys.
how did you apporach the "why evms" question?
I am on their website and i am not finding anything interesting about this school.
also, how are you approaching the 10 years from now question? I said i see myself as a surgeon but I see that they say "primary care" a lot on their website. So should i lie and say I am interested in primary care?
hi guys, please don't take this "lying" thing too personally...we all know how much these "why this school" questions suck...how much time they take...If i were to answer the question with integrity, I would say "I don't care about you school, I am applying to a bunch of schools, and evms just happens to be one of them." but that obviously will get me rejected.
You gotta call guys!! I just held my breath and made myself, annnndddd...*drumroll please*.....ACCEPTED!!! Yaaaaaaaay! My brain is going in 50,000 different directions! So relieved....trying not to jump the gun though, eventually I'm going to have to sit down, think rationally and make an informed decision like a real grown-up.
.....but, not today.
yah i think she means 11/9. i just called... waitlisted upper third for me
