How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Did several mock interviews with mentors/bosses here at the school, talked to my UWSOM student friends, read this website, newspapers, etc.

What impressed you positively?

It seems as though everyone has a bad impression of the way UWSOM conducts its interviews. I completely disagree. It was a great experience and did not feel intimidated or stressed at all. We just had a detailed talk on what my goals were in medicine and what motivated me to achieve these goals.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. I have gone to school and worked here for the last 7 years so I think I'm attached to this place.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish that I hadn't of worried so much during the two weeks before my interview! Relax! Its fun.

What are your general comments?

Don't let some people's views/experiences effect you, a bad interview for them doesn't mean a bad interview for you. Try not to stess out too much before your big day. Be prepared to answer some questions that you think will be addressed, but try not to memorize a script. Remember, by this point, you shouldn't have to think about why you want to become a doctor...you should already know.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
