10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

reviewed amcas and secondary, UW bioethics website, health08.org, practiced answers to common interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

how there are so many service/learning opportunities available - alot of travel abroad options too

What impressed you negatively?

the students didn't seem very enthusiastic about their classes/professors - some choose to skip lecture and learn the material on their own

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

the students here spend alot of hours in class every week (back to back lectures in a windowless room) - supposedly more classroom hours than most other med schools

What are your general comments?

tour in the morning, followed by presentation and lunch with 2nd years. interviews were in the afternoon - it was pretty intimidating sitting at the end of a long table across from two md's and one med student. but overall they were very nice and genuinely wanted to know more about me. i can see how they are trying to make the experience much less stressful than previous years.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
