What are your general comments?
I think this was probably the best interview day I was at. This was my 6th interview and I felt like it was the best orgainized. The information sessions were informative and not too long. The tour took us pretty much everywhere and lasted over an hour (so wear comfortable shoes!). The student lunch was really sweet because we all sat at one table and asked M1, M2, M3 and M4s questions they could all share about!
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What my relationship with my brothers is like
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read over my app, University of Washington Ethics page
What was the most difficult question?
none really, but a very structured interview...one question after another with barely enough time to answer.
What impressed you positively?
I was blown away by the school. Honestly I think this is where I want to be for the next four years. I was very impressed by the facilities, the cultural diversity of the area (I heard more spanish and Haitian Creole than English) and getting my training at Jackson with the beach 10min. away seems amazing. I also really loved the students I met. They were all very positive and helpful and were very relaxed. Overall Miami was pretty awesome and I hope I get an acceptance in a few weeks!
What impressed you negatively?
I wasn't able to stay with a host. There are tests the same week, but I am sure one person could have housed me and dropped me off in the morning...is it too much to ask?
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
How amazing the medical campus really is. The buildings and centers all look great and the diversity of the city is far beyond what i imagined. Granted I want to go into international health so that really appeals to me, but I really loved the feel of the place...I wasn't sure if I would like it going in to the interview
