💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why do you want to be a doctor?
What was the most interesting question?

How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, UW bioethics website, Understanding Healthcare Policy book, discussed health care/ethics with other med applicants
What was the most difficult question?
What would you do if you could only give ten tests every month to your patients, and you were out of tests for the month and a patient came in that needed a test?
What impressed you positively?
The students both at the school and interviewing with me: the school is really open to more alternative students (ie those who for whom med school is a second career, or have spent time doing different things before going to med school) and as a result, each class is very diverse. All the students i met were really interesting people, and all had had such different experiences. Being a state school, I just assumed it wouldnt be very diverse, but I was really positively suprised when I visited.
What impressed you negatively?
The facilities aren't the newest, but it doesnt seem to be a hindrence to the student's education at all.
