No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the website, ethics page and researched contemporary issues in medicine.

What impressed you positively?

...nothing really. I like Seattle.

What impressed you negatively?

The attitude. I could not wait to get out of there. Even the students were rude and strutted around like they had just discovered the cure for cancer. I was interrupted during the interview and was unable to finish my response. Ridiculous.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That everyone there, except the admissions staff at the front desk, was an absolute ass. I'll only attend this school if it's my only choice.

What are your general comments?

For the interviewers (I hear they review this site)- You need to deflate your ego and be SERVE US in a respectful manner. Is this how you treat your patients? You're a poor reflection of UW. If this is how people treat one another, NO THANKS. Here's MY evaluation of YOU- you're all a bunch of arrogant, smug geeks and your MD title does not mean shit. UW is obtaining a rather poor reputation amongst medical schools. You are a big part of that. I look forward to being a much better, more compassionate doctor than ALL OF YOU.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
