How did you prepare for the interview?

I studied medical sociology which hits all of the high points. I also studied bioethics and fomulated logical arguments for the issues I support.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

I love Seattle. Not much else, it truly was the worst experience of my life. NOTE- this was LAST JANUARY; not this year!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Quite a bit. My interviewer, Dr. Notebom, for the most part. I did not have a chance from the very first moment he began his interogation.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I would have requested a different interviewer. I've read the previous comments, and the interviews definitely seem to be getting better this year.

What are your general comments?

This feedback is from last year. I was an interviewee from the WAMMI states and I was prompted to write a response due to all of the negative feedback regarding last years WAMI interviews, specifically regarding Dr. Notebom (spelling?). Although I don't think he is malicous, I do beleive you should request a different interviewer if you know you've got him. Don't be afraid to do this!!! UW is a great school and you deserve a fair shot at getting in. People with lower MCAT's and GPA's got in before me because I did not respond well to my interviewer. It was the worst experience of my life! It was NOT because I was underprepared. It was my fifth interview of the year so I felt pretty good going in. My only adice is to request that you do NOT have Dr. Notebom as an interviewer and you'll have a fair chance.
