✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read this site, mock interviews with co-worker and premed advisor, read everything about health care, read the UW med ethics site

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were friendly, they didn't ask really challenging questions that make you defend yourself.

What impressed you negatively?

Lunch presentations were boring, if only because I went to UW as an undergrad

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That UW is really really fast in sending you an interview invitation after you send in your secondary (If you've got good grades). Send in your secondary when you're good and ready!!

What are your general comments?

The interview was nice, my interviewers asked easier questions than I saw on this site, consequently I was ready for all the hard questions but not the "easy" ones. The admissions staff were friendly too. Lunch presentations were kind of fast and not too informative for me, but then again I went to UW. The students you have lunch with are so great, they love this school (and they said they had terrible interviews, which goes to show that a bad interview doesn't reflect that poorly. I hope!!)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
