I applied online. I interviewed at COPE Health Scholars (Tacoma, WA) in Nov 2025
Interview
It was a group zoom interview, they asked pretty straightforward questions. The whole process was easy and just be prepared to answer basic questions such as “what would you do in this situation”
Pretty straightforward interview. It started with an overview of the program, what to expect, and the specific requirements. After around 30 minutes, we moved onto the questions. There were 4; two of which were general questions and the other two were situational questions. We only took around 1 hour for the entire meeting.

I applied online. I interviewed at COPE Health Scholars (Seattle, WA) in Sept 2023
Interview
Fairly straightforward, students are put into breakout rooms (around 3-5 kids in each) with one instructor. Then, each of the students is asked 3-4 Interview questions which are fairly simple. A key thing they focus on is leadership experience and experience in a group enviornment, as a hospital enviornment is based on teamwork.

One question was something like this- What is an example of a time where you and a group of other people were grouped together without instruction and you took a leadership role?
