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." Report Response
