My faculty interviewer discussed his surgical practice and compared it to family med (my other choice) which was really informative and gave me a lot to think about.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What was the most interesting question?

What's wrong with your husband?! (I was asked this by a surgeon who had just heard that my husband's most hated rotation in medical school was surgery)He was joking, of course. Mostly the questions were in regard to discrepancies in my file and my research.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I looked at this website, reread my application and ironed my shirt.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The new facility, students and the way that the school takes care of it's students. The UW campus has a lot of programs for parents and married students - even housing and daycare.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Dean Skocalak (sp?) - the woman is NOT a good representative of the school. I've heard her speak several times and she always rubs me wrong. She claimed that ten percent of people who fail the boards do so because they didn't do their work for the first two years but rather went golfing. She just generally failed to take responsibility for the school's shortcomings and didn't seem to care about the students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No one from the admissions committee is present during the day - if I had known that, I might have felt more relaxed during the orientation and talks.
