"The question that surprised and allowed me to express my personality was , "What is the one movie you would suggest that all of us see?" This was a follow up question to what I did for fun, in which I said I watched a lot of movies. " Report Response | I was asked this question too
"This question was difficult because it was not phrased as a question. "Discuss the impact of pharmaceutical companies upon the medical field, the medical field upon the government and the population, as well as the relationship between the government, pharmaceutical companies and medical field." Another particularly difficult question was "What would you say to pharmaceutical companies weighing the options of developing new drugs versus new vaccinations, when they are also taking into consideration profit?"" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"I read a lot before the interview. Sadly I only had a week to prepare for it, as I did not expect to be asked to interview so soon. I read a book on health policy, Critical Condition, (really good) which was interesting and not dry at all. It gives a liberal perspective about medicine and raises issues we should all think about. I also read the UW bioethics site, all of it, as an ethical question always comes up. I wrote down all the questions brought to this website and prepared my own answers, discussed them with a medical school student at UW, and got aquainted with talking about myself and my pursuit in becoming a doctor.

"I was impressed by the sincerity and genuineness of the interviewers; they were pleasant and encouraged me through the interview as I gave my responses. The main interviewer was one of my previous professors (who I never met but remembered him lecturing) so that was comforting to know that someone I have seen on campus was interviewing me. " Report Response
"The luncheon and meeting with other medical school students was very informal and not impressive. " Report Response
"nothing, I had a great friend tell me all about UWSOM before I interviewed!" Report Response
"It was nerve-wracking to wait for the interview. I was waiting a full hour before I went in, partly because they were running behind and I had gotten there early. I was in a waiting room with other interviewees, some of whom had already interviewed, and it was great to just talk to them. They were all really supportive and nice! The interview itself went by in a blur, though it seemed to last forever when I was speaking. I do wish I had an opportunity to tell them more about myself, though I felt I gave them a complete picture of who I was. The beginning of the interview was tough - they started out with the more lengthy, difficult, policy type of questions. As the interview progressed I became more relaxed about talking about myself. Overall it was great, it was hard to judge how I had done. " Report Response
