💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
How do we fix the problem of 43 million people being uninsured?
What was the most interesting question?
If I had to chose Time's "person of the year" who would it be?
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, read UW bioethics site, read, read, read! Also, know yourself and what you believe in (and stand by your beliefs during the interview!).
What was the most difficult question?
see above...yikes, for some reason this one was difficult.
What impressed you positively?
The students seemed very happy and satisfied with UW (especially the WWAMI site students from Pullman). The admissions staff was friendly and encouraging, contrary to what many have said. There are a lot of opportunities for research and preceptorships, which is great. Also, the interviewers had obviously taken a careful/in-depth look at my application.
What impressed you negatively?
Students say that housing and parking are a pain. Of course, it's Seattle!
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The interview isn't really that bad. I spent too much time worrying about it and didn't let myself really relax and concentrate on the nuances of the school.
