No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read my application, read through the UW website, talked with students who interviewed there, had friends mock interview me, especially on ethical questions.

What impressed you positively?

The students, faculty and school in general are really committed to providing health care in a huge region that is underserved in many locations. There are lots of opportunities for rotating throughout a five-state region.

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was very short and we didn't see the hospital or lab facilities. UW is also kind of old-fashioned in that they don't have problem-based learning.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The tour is not great. I probably would have skipped it.

What are your general comments?

A good, very challenging interview. The interviewers really made me think and defend some of my ideas and beliefs. This is definitely a great school, but be prepared for a farily difficult interview experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
