✅ 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?

Mock interviews, read up on the latest news (both US & international), reviewed my AMCAS application, read up on bioethics (University of Washington bioethics website), read ''Understanding Health Policy''

What impressed you positively?

All of the students I met were very welcoming and seemed genuinely happy to be at the school. There was a great sense of community amongst the faculty, staff, and students. The admissions staff is also extremely organized and the entire experience was well-planned and laid back.

What impressed you negatively?

It was a little cold... ok a lot cold, but nothing you couldn't handle if you were prepared.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The only thing that was slightly surprising was that there were 64 people interviewing on the same day, making it a little intimidating/nerve-wrecking at first. (The school only interviews applicants once every two weeks or so.)

What are your general comments?

Overall, I had a great experience interviewing at MCW. The interviewers were knowledgable about my file and seemed truly interested in finding out who I was and if I would fit into the school instead of just drilling me with bioethics and misc. questions.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
