How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Lots of health policy books, news, NYTimes online, talked to doctors, reflected on myself, etc.

What impressed you positively?

I wanna go here cuz it's cheap and has lots of opportunities to work with the underserved.

What impressed you negatively?

The interviewers were an hour late because 2 of them forgot/ didn't know they were interviewing me. Then, I get in there with only 2 because the third didn't show and in the middle of my answer to a very emotional question, one of the receptionists knocks on the door, interrupting the flow of my dialogue, introduces a substitute interviewer (30 mins into the interview) then walks out. Then, I'm expected to regain my momentum and fervor all the while impressing a third guy who has absolutely no idea who i am or what I'm talking about. Very well done, UW! At least i was able to show my ability to perform well under stress/pressure! :)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

Very wierd experience. Not stressful. I guess you just need to be well read and relaxed. I'm terrible at these types of interviews, hence my regaining of my usual spot on the competitive list. woo hoo . . .
