✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

''Understanding Health Policy'', ''A Second Opinion'', www.health08.org, reviewed AMCAS, UW bioethics website, discussed health care issues/policy with physicians, practiced speech patterns in my car prior to interview, took a beta-blocker.

What impressed you positively?

How much better organized the tour/lunch/interview process was this year compared to last year.

What impressed you negatively?

Students aren't offered MP3 files of the basic science lectures for later review, and in some cases are not offered the powerpoints either.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really. As far as advice, don't stress the UW interview!! They are working hard to have friendly exchanges between admissions members and applicants. The UW interview will soon lose it's notoriety for being harsh and intense... just be yourself.

What are your general comments?

Overall, they wanted to know more about me as a person and put into words what I had outlined in my essays. Very friendly scenario and a comfortable atmosphere that was conducive to an honest and straightforward conversation between myself and the interviewers.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
