✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read SDN, mock interviews, read my secondary essays and AMCAS applic.

What impressed you positively?

A lot of clinical opportunities. Canada is just right across the river/lake.

What impressed you negatively?

The ultra-urban setting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No financial aid presentation, that you have to come back at a set date for it.

What are your general comments?

We were asked to wait in a small waiting area until our interviewer picked us up. Interview was more conversational. They already know your info from your AMCAS and secondary applications. It was more of a confirmation of some items that were of interest in the application such as research, medical/clinical experiences, and current activities (since I was a non-trad). The interviewer himself provided an overview at how the first two years of medical at WSU would be like.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
