Seems like their's was a bit of an anomaly in being so early (congrats btw!)? Is there any other info about when we should expect besides the "8 weeks" they put in the email?

No idea...I got asked to come in for a 2nd interview so I'm guessing it will be even later for me lol

Edit: you could look back at last year's thread to get a sense of when most of the early interviewees were hearing then

Not MD/PhD...I already have a PhD! Then I would be MrsDrDrDr!!! And also more ancient than The Ancient One when I got done lol

They said there was some discrepancy between the interviewers' impressions of me so they wanted me to come back and interview again with 3 new people so that I would definitely get a fair shot. They mentioned that this is not uncommon. It is totally stressful, but I'm viewing it as one more awesome opportunity to shoot my shot!

I wonder if they only do that because they know that their interviews are all regional? That is super stressful and unfortunate, but I suppose equitable of them to ensure you get a fair shot. Good luck! Don't know why I asked about PhD lol Knew you had one.
 
Anyone who interviewed in Seattle in the last couple weeks ask your interviewers/Sarah when we might hear back? Or when the next excom meeting is?

I interviewed two weeks ago and the email they sent after the fact said it would take about 8 weeks to hear back with an A/R/Still Under Consideration. Now whether or not that means we’ll hear exactly at 8 weeks or sometime within that 8 weeks I’m not sure.
 
Anyone else hearing news on As, or know when/how often the EXCOM is meeting?

Wish I knew. I had heard every two weeks, but that might just be what they try to do. I think this year has been a little more hectic than usual though. Last year the first batch of A's started going out this week I believe.
 
OOS MSTP pre-II R today (by physical mail lol) added the school on 15-oct, completed 21-Oct.
 
Interviewing tomorrow in Seattle, heard this interview is a bit more stressful than others. Does anyone that has already interviewed have any advice/thoughts on the day?
 
From Wyoming and received an II last week. Very excited to interview, but have heard horror stories about the interview from a few current WWAMI students and some who didn’t get in.

Does anyone have any input on their interview experience? How was the role play component?

Best of luck to you all! Here’s to our future!

Honestly, the role play is the easiest part. Its maybe 5 minutes and just a normal human interaction.

Just be ready to answer questions like they have on the UWSOM website. Can't speak for the rest of the day as I was in Seattle, not Laramie, but good luck!

Thank you for that. Makes me relax a little! What was your impression of the program from a Seattle point of view?

I love it. Top choice. UWSOM if you are reading this, I can't wait to be accepted! 😍

Seriously though, I'd love to study here with lots opportunities to work with urban underserved the first couple years and then the chance to rotate so many places in year 3 and 4. The atmosphere is really collaborative, and I felt like there is a lot of room/support to explore specialties even if most people go into primary care.

That’s great to “hear”. Financially it’s a great opportunity, and coming from rural and hoping to come back to rural, I would live the opportunities to learn to care for rural populations while also learning skills in urban facilities. We’ll see how this interview goes; it’s been a LONG road.
 
I was offered the opportunity to have a mock interview done by Alliance for Equal Representation in Medicine from UWSOM. Do you think it is a resource worth utilizing? I know someone will say that any and all interview experience is great, but if it’s not really in a format like the interview I don’t know if it’s necessary. I have had a lot of interviews, and work full time and have a family, so free time is lacking. Thoughts? Any experience with these mock interviews?

Also, I love your username! Trying to get back into some long running myself!

Thank you!! Ironically, long distance isn’t my thing, but I do truly enjoy fitness, exercise, and puns...so it works! I am only able to get in about 3-5 miles a week. It’s a great outlet though. Best of luck as you start to get back into it, no better way to let of steam IMO.

Also interviewed Seattle, but personally found it very low stress and conversational, and role play was actually kind of fun. Just be yourself!

My interviewers were extremely welcoming, and they asked questions that were definitely fair game, given the practice questions they lost online. That being said, I was actually a bit thrown off by my role play. It was unclear how much information should have been a given vs. I should have asked for. But the scenario was short and not a focal point of the interview.

I wish you both luck! How many seats are available for Seattle applicants?
