Interviewed last week. EVMS exceeded my expectations. The facilities were wonderful and the work they do with standardized patients is top-notch. EVMS teaches communication skills during their 1st/2nd years so that by the time their students reach their clerkships, they are more than capable of performing excellent H&Ps. The school is very intent on producing doctors that are not only intelligent but also able to speak to their patients and adequately explain their illness/disease. Norfolk General was a gorgeous hospital and Norfolk itself seemed very nice. I personally did not feel unsafe while walking alone, even at night. The interview itself was very low-key and almost like a conversation versus an interview. Everyone else thought the same as well. Very standard questions as well (i.e what excites you about medicine, explain your childhood, what interests you at EVMS, basic ethical question, and basic ACA question). Good luck on your interview!
I recommend flying into Norfolk(ORF)
Congrats. I guess you can use the MSAR to predict the acceptance rate. From what I've seen or remembered, adcoms say that they usually accept 2 to 2.5 times more than their class capacity.
Congrats! Are you IS or OOS?
I mean, I've got a 38+ MCAT and I'm applying to EVMS OOS...it makes sense for me as an individual, given the rest of my app and my background. I'm sure it does for them as well!
More like 4 or 5, but OK
Congrats! Was it by email.
Nothing to be nervous about! It was incredibly conversational and laid-back, as others have said. I had two doctors at EVMS and one medical student - they all balanced each other out nicely.
I was told the same thing when I interviewed on September 9th, but I just called the admissions office and they told me that whoever told me I could call and get a decision gave me false information and they wouldn't release anything until October 15th. So if anyone else calls and actually gets a decision, let me know!
Anyone in the same boat?Complete 8/12, still waiting to hear something. Anything.
