Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science

They should be more organized and remember that they are trying to impress the applicants, just as we are trying to impress them.

My first interviewer was very standoffish and kept emphasizing the fact that the Watts area used to be predominantly black but is now predominantly latino. She then cut me off and ended the interview prematurely even though she arrived late. My second interviewer was very nice however she forgot about our scheduled time and asked for me to my interview hours later than arranged.

Strict confidentiality agreement. Plan to be well versed on your experiences and why you want to attend this program specifically. Be kind, be confident, truly- be you,

Students were like a family.

Did not prepare, simply relaxed and asked students questions the night before.

I wish they would have taken us on a campus tour. Still my top choice because of its mission.

That I would be so nervous for this one! I guess I wanted it badly. I needed to arrive at the interview in a better mood.

Some of the interviewers were odd...

The number of students who showed up to participate in the student panel. They were all very chill and funny.

Review my application, UW's bioethics page, and common MMI questions. Call a couple current MS1s. Learn more about South LA. Review Affordable Care Act stuff.

Lunch was amazing

it was an MMI

location

student support

Actually I was caught off guard that it was an MMI this year

Loved this program, everyone seems to really care.

Nothing, had an amazing time.

Very friendly staff and students. Well organized interview day. FOOD WAS AMAZING.

Mock interviews.

The negative press/reputation of the school. They have a checkered past. I wish I knew if it would negatively affect me if I went to their school. Its hard to find an unbiased source.
