How welcoming of LGBT applicants is the SOM?
The University of Virginia SOM seeks strong applicants from diverse backgrounds regardless of sex, race, or sexual orientation. We encourage applicants to be themselves throughout the application process. UVA has an active LGBT Resource Center (http://www.virginia.edu/deanofstudents/lgbt/), and the SOM has an organization for LGBT and ally medical students (http://www.qmd.student.virginia.edu/).
