help! anyone been to the UVa MSTP interview?!?

[ChocoCowie]

Hey all,

Can anyone tell me the layout of the UVa MD/PhD interview? I know it's two days but they've not told me anything of the schedules during the days.

I am a student (UG) at the school and unfortunately my interview falls on right when school starts. There are a lot of classes that I want to get into that I need to attend the first class for, in order to add in. I was hoping that I could slip away during some down time in the interview to add some classes, but I'll need to know what times those are.

Please Help, else I'd be left as a part time student! thanks!

I didn't get my schedule until 2 days before the interview, and in addition everyone's were different. The first day Gary Owens (the director) gives a power-point presentation, then you get a tour and lunch, then you have MD interviews. The remaining time on the first day is spent with either two prospective mentors or two members of the MD/PhD admissions committee or one of each. The second day was spent interviewing with 6-8 faculty members (pretty much them telling you about their research and allowin gyou to ask questions about it). This second day was very grueling!
