💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
What do you feel attracted you to UW/Seattle?
What was the most interesting question?
--There were many personal questions that directly related to my application. The interviewers were 3 faculty/staff members who had read through my file prior to the interview itself.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN, mock questions, familiarity with my own essay/profile
What was the most difficult question?
Something similar to: "What would you like to change about yourself?" (I don't feel like I need to change anything about myself...) Also: "What if you caused a person to end up in the hospital for two weeks because you dispensed them the incorrect medication?" (Without the education/experience, this is a hard question... and I couldn't really just say, "I would lose my license?")
What impressed you positively?
The beautiful campus, the availability of electives/specialization, the attitude of students, international rotation opportunities
What impressed you negatively?
The cost of living of Seattle, very little availability of parking, public transportation is slightly not dependable, facilities seem a little out-of-date
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The interview process was so short! Write an essay for a half hour, interview for a half hour... no information session. Tour with a student only took a half hour and was optional, too.
