How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

8 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Went over my application (no need for this in hindsight), practiced articulating my motivation for medicine, went over general practice questions

What impressed you positively?

Nice little campus, laid back vibe. All of the students seem very enthusiastic to be going there, and most seem very "chill". Awesome school if you are interested in rural medicine in Washington w/their community-based curriculum and clinical sites.

What impressed you negatively?

Currently (Dec. 2018) seems like a bit of an experiment, and they are figuring things out along the way. A couple of the students gave off the "I'm so great/entitled millennial" vibe, which was kindof annoying.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

You get the opportunity to interact with a number of the students (you have lunch with them and go on a tour with them), see the anatomy lab, and see most of the campus (which is tiny). Seems a little risky for now since having only started a couple years ago (Dec. 2018 when I interviewed), but WSU in general has a reputable name and is a quality university. My advice would be to go here if you for sure to go into rural medicine in Washington, but otherwise I would pursue other opportunities.
