What are your general comments?
Overall, my experience went pretty well. The social is nice and calmed my nerves the night before. I stayed with a med student and we went out to a local bar after the social. The facilities are nice and the students are all very friendly. I just can't decide if I really like the fact that the school is only for med students or if I like other schools I have been to that have other allied health professions.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to be a physician? Why MCW?
What was the most interesting question?
My second interviewer asked some interesting ethics questions.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read over AMCAS again, mock interviews, read up on current events, and UWash ethics website.
What was the most difficult question?
If we were on a parallel universe and there was not a need for any more doctors (there is absolutely no way that you can be a physician), what else would you do? It just seems unfair to make me say another career in an interview.
What impressed you positively?
The students all seem to really get along. I also like how you can do all of your rotations right there.
What impressed you negatively?
I don't like how 25% of the class is married and 25% are in long-term relationships. I am not sure if those numbers are exact, but it is something like that.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I knew quite a bit going in so I don't think anything.
