How did you prepare for the interview?

UW website, mock interview, SDN

What impressed you positively?

How they had clearly gone through my file and tailored questions accordingly. It was nice not to have to cover my background in depth since they had already read it.

What impressed you negatively?

The main medical school building is old and not the most aesthetically pleasing. Everything inside of it is up-to-date, however.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

It is more relaxed than people make it out to be.

What are your general comments?

As long as you practice your responses to the commonly asked questions, and stay relaxed for the other questions, you'll be fine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Have more clear directions for how to get to the admissions office for the interview in A300. The online directions overcomplicate it and make you enter from a less convenient entrance in the actual medical center instead of just going straight into the health sciences building.
