What impressed you positively?

The curriculum is truly unique and I think that, upon graduation, you will have accrued a lot of clinical experience in a wide range of settings.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The M2-led tour was very poorly planned. My group didn't even get to visit the hospital because "it was too busy at that moment." I would have liked to see more of the places where I would be spending my time if I were accepted.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, really. Reading SDN and talking with other's who have interview at UW gave me a good idea of what to expect. The interview was pretty low stress; perhaps the worst part about it was that two out of the three interviewers didn't emote throughout the whole interview, making it hard to gauge how well they thought I was doing.
