EVMS
Pros:
Pros:
Im a Virginian resident and I was very excited to be accepted to both. So far no scholarships etc. but I think that it’s still possible. I really think either one would be a good option for me but I’m interested to hear what others think.
EVMS
Pros:
- good vibe the day of the interview with very friendly students
- Higher step 1 average
- Match list seemed to be good this year
- Really close to where I am from so I know Norfolk really well
- The students I talked to really loved EVMS
- I originally thought it would be more challenging to match into competitive specialties but they seem to consistently match well
- Not affiliated with a university- less resources and opportunities
Pros:
- Also a very good vibe on interview day
- Originally where I was hoping to go
- Richmond seems pretty nice but I haven’t spent very much time there
- Affiliated with a university so maybe more opportunities and research
- Lower step 1 scores
- Richmond seems to be more expensive
- None of the students I talked to really loved VCU.. just said it was getting them to where they want to be
