How did you prepare for the interview?

read NYTimes and a book on health care, talked to former students

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

everything--the staff, students, program. Everyone I met was friendly and made me feel really comfortable.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing much...the facilities are old and dark, but it wasn't the dungeon that I was expecting.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Your GPA and MCAT scores each count for 25% of how they evaluate you. The other 50% is subjective--so the interviews are very important!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Contrary to what I expected, I actually had a wonderful time. The atmosphere was very laid back and they made me feel comfortable right away. There were a few tough questions about how to fix health care and health care rationing, but that's what I had expected and had prepared for. The students we talked to had both been WWAMIed and sent to Pullman, but they had only good things to say about it. The school is aware that they have come across as arrogant in the past by not trying to sell the school, so Dr. Hunt now has quite a marketing pitch. It's great--he sold me! Definitely my first choice school.
