How did you prepare for the interview?

This was my sixth interview.

What impressed you positively?

I think the pros of attending UW would be the in-state tuition, location, and wide array of community rotations to choose from.

What impressed you negatively?

I don't know if the curriculum the first two years would really suits me. They have tons of class hours, clinical/preceptor experiences are one faculty member to six students rather than one on one like most schools have. Also the college system seems a little like middle school. One day you are supposed to interview someone with a chronic illness and write an essay about the experience.... I don't think that would a significant experience to anyone that has actually worked in a clinical setting.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

This school seems to cater to young students with minimal life/clinical experience. UW strikes me as tremendously over-rated.

What are your general comments?

UW has good points (low tuition, location and many, many sites for clinical rotations), but there are no shortage of bad points (curriculum seems childish, no parking, low diversity among students, etc).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
