How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the website. Didn't rehearse too much. I know what I believe and I'm not into theatrics. I wanted to sound sincee and unscripted.

What impressed you positively?

Seattle. I've lived in Washington nearly my whole life and never spent much time here. It's awesome!

What impressed you negatively?

The school and staff. Students were disillusioned jerks; very arrogant and sarcastic.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

MCAT means everything here. Don't even bother if you did not get above a 28. They won't take you seriiously (according to some second year medical students).

What are your general comments?

I could tell my interviewers were trying to be friendly. They drill you, which is just fine. Be prepared to be shown no respect though. I'm not part of the WAMI sending states, but LISTEN TO THIS ADVICE! If you recieve Dr. Notebom from Montana, request a different interviewer. EVERY person I know from WAMI who had him hated him. Just a heads up. Mine interviewers were not as bad, but they were definitely canned and insincere. This school is old and run down. If you want to specialize, consider other options. If not, it's an OK place to go to school and a great place to live.
