Candidates who are selected for an interview are asked a series of questions to help the Admissions Committee determine if they have what it takes to be a successful WAUSM student, and a good fit as a future colleague and peer.

Topics covered will include: your level of professionalism and maturity; reasons why you want to pursue medicine; and what your expectations are concerning your future life as a physician. As you prepare for your interview, think about how you can best approach these types of questions in a clear and meaningful way, and help us get to know you beyond your academic accolades and abilities.
