I had my VCU interview. The staff and faculty seemed really friendly and very knowledgeable. I was impressed to begin with, but more impressed when I left. Definitely my #1 choice still. If I found out I was accepted there, I'd put my down payment down that day 😉
 
i have not hear a single thing from that school, guess they dont want me, but they could at least reject me.

Any other interviews?
 
yeah i have interviewed at arizona already
 
I haven't heard anything back from them either. I think they're just slow.

Would you mind writing your status cuz I have been hoping interview from them too but havenot heard anything so far even though my status is good...
 
she got her masters at VCU...and she's a female...kindof a given that she would be interviewed...

Ah, I was wondering why she got an interview when I was told they rarely interview people with under a 19 AA.

That's probably a thought you should have kept to yourself.

Anyway, this is somewhat related to VCU interviews: what vaccination are we supposed to be up to date with? Sharon called me when I was in class yesterday and I didn't really catch everything she said. Any help would be appreciated. 🙂
 
HAHA...guys, you dont have to defend me. I have noticed as in real life, many people on SDN don't have very much tact.
 
SugarNaCl, would you happen to know where the bus station in Richmond is? I'm probably going to be taking a Greyhound bus down for my interview. Anything else I should know?

You're right. I apologize SugarNaCl because that was a bit derogatory. What I failed to mention is that you went and did well on your Masters degree. Nicely done! I know Dr. Healy looks highly on those who do a Master's tract.
 
They interview instate students first (they haven't done me because I didn't pay them early) But be patient, your time will come!😀
 
where did you get that info from? did someone tell you that they interview state students first? cuz sugarnacl is from ny...
 
nothing got dirty...it was an obvious observation. i wasn't trying to be rude...i was just saying that girls get preference at vcu and graduating with a masters degree from there helped as well.

Hey, I go to VCU undergrad. The bus station is like 4/5 miles (maybe more) from the medical campus. The area is really shady so dont expect anything grand 🙂 When u get outside, there are usually a bunch of taxis out there so if thats what you are gonna do that'll be not problem. Taking a city bus from the bus station is prolly not a good idea bc u'll prolly have to switch buses and all that.

Best of luck on your interview!

no ilikecows, that comment wasn't directed at you. All I mean is that people get upset when they hear about other interviews/stats etc. Everyone is just so competitive. It's easier to keep some information private. There are certain things in an application that may allow someone with 3.1 cum GPA and 18s on their DATs get 3 interviews while a person with 3.4 and 19s may not get any. I don't know exactly what those extra factors are.
