How did you prepare for the interview?

I was WIPED OUT by the ball-busting interview at Univ. of Washington two days prior. I just showed up with a smile on my face.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Nice facilities, nicely located just outside of a decent city, all of schools' resources devoted to medical students, 3rd best children's hospital in nation

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

There were 70 people in my interview group! Talk about the Costco-style of interviews. It's a really impersonal feeling when you see 40 other white dudes dressed exactly like you are.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

HUGE interview groups, but REALLY REALLY EASY INTERVIEWS. Best of all, they will give you a decision within 10 days of your interview.

What are your general comments?

They tell you to show up at 11AM, but nothing happens till 12:30. The first part of the day is spent listening to the director of admissions give his schpeele. He seems like he'd make a good car salesman, and is kind of aggressive in the way he talks about admissions. Don't worry though, because the 2 interviews are the MOST laid back I've ever seen, even more than UVM. Make sure you have plenty of questions, becuase after about 10-12 minutes of asking you questions, the interviewers spend the rest of the time answering YOUR questions. So prepare accordingly.
