What are your general comments?

"The thing about a UW interview is that it depends SO MUCH on which interviewers you have, especially which Executive Committee member is the leader of your interview team. You could have Dr. Samson, who is really hard on about 75% of those he interviews. You'll get put through the ringer with him, and maybe you'll shine but if you're unprepared he'll kick your ass. He asks about health policy and he wants numbers and percentages and crap like that. And he wants you to take a stand and back it up on ethical questions, not to walk the fence. Or maybe you'll get someone off the executive committee who isn't even a physician, and maybe your whole interview will be more of a medicine-related conversation than an interrogation. The important take-home message is that UW interviews are like a box of chocolates. Prepare well but don't expect anything. And don't kid yourself, the interviewer who identifies themself as the executive committee member is the one who matters. The other two have some say, but if you're picking one to impress... make the right choice." Report Response
