"Seattle is beautiful! Also the facilities are great and the student who ate lunch with us seemed to love UW and was just fun to talk to in general. The Office of Multicultural affairs meeting was really informative (as an out-of-stater the main reason I think I got an interview was because the OMC likes recruiting disadvantaged applicants and applicants interested in working with the underserved - in my case, the latter). Also, despite what I heard from the feedback here, Dr. Samson is actually a pretty nice guy!" Report Response
"The interviewers asked weird questions (see above). I don't really see how those questions determine if I will be a good doctor..." Report Response
"There's quite a bit of walking (well, in my case - from hotel to the med center, but also within the hospital itself). Another thing is that if Dr. Samson is interviewing that day then you may have to wait quite a while for your interview (20 minutes over time). " Report Response
"I loved Seattle, and the views from the Hospital and Student center were fantastic (it wasn't raining that day). The interview day was pretty well organized and the tour was okay. Meeting the students is really the best part. The interview itself is TOUGH and despite all your preparation you may get some curve balls (see above!) But the interviewers consoled me with some cookies after the interview was over (something about "you're probably hyperglycemic after all those questions") which was nice." Report Response
