How did you prepare for the interview?

read websites, such as this one; stayed on top of current events; mock interviewd; discussed issues with just about anyone i know

What impressed you positively?

how comfortable the interviewers made me feel; they really seemed interested in me as a person, not just my numbers. i was worried they would not get a good idea of who i am outside of grades and MCAT scores, but i felt that they really gave me a chance to show my personality.

What impressed you negatively?

the tour was not highly informative

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that so many of the accepted applicants are from the WWAMI region and that part of our training might take place at sites other than Seattle

What are your general comments?

i had a really nice experience. i enjoyed meeting the applicants from Montana (I hope I'll see you guys in class next year!) and I thought the interview process was fair, efficient and informative. i had three female interviewers, which actually made me really comfortable, and they gave me a chance to talk about all the things I had hoped they would (traveling, tango, my background, job-shadowing). I think UW is a great school and I am sorry to hear that not everyone has had a positive experience interviewing there. I hope everyone can find a medical environment where they feel welcome and at home. For me, that place is UW, and I would even consider reapplying next year if I get rejected and get into other schools this year.
