How did you prepare for the interview?

I went over my AMCAS file, and made a list of the most important activities /jobs/etc I've participated in, and what I learned from them. Also went over UW's MSAR profile, and googled common med school interview questions.

What impressed you positively?

The interview was virtual and spanned 3 days. There were two main interviews: one 1-1 with faculty (30 mins) and a group interview with 2 current med students and 5 current applicants (1 hour long). There were many optional workshops that interviewees could attend, including an hour social where interviewees could ask current med students questions in a candid fashion.

Nothing!!

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

To truly just try and relax. Honestly, almost none of the questions that I was asked were on the "most commonly asked questions" websites. For example, I was not asked "tell me about yourself," "why medicine?" or "why this school?".
