✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Spoke with other students from the school.

What impressed you positively?

The student centered focus. Since it is not part of an academic medical center there is a lot more emphasis on the students and as a result a much more close family feel to the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Yakima is a small town so if you grew up in a big city it might not be the best place to go to school. (I came from a small town so it didn't bother me) Also, South Yakima has a bit of a crime problem, but that is nowhere near the school.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing really, the scchool is pretty transparent in their interactions.

What are your general comments?

This is a wonderful school and it should be at the top of the list for anyone interested in practicing in a rural area or practicing family medicine in the Northwest. The facilities are also top notch (it has the only cadaver lab I have ever seen that has windows!) and they are a testament to the fact that value quality over quantity as they continue to expand their campus.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep up the good work!
