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.

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

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.

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.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
