Programs may also benefit from having a broader pool of applicants with increased geographic diversity. Sample secondary application prompts Function of prompt Sample prompt Selection of applicant interests aligning with a program’s mission (e.g., psychotherapy) Tell us about a memorable time when you experienced or witnessed the healing power of psychotherapy Selection of residents with a specific trait (e.g., responsiveness to feedback) Tell us about a time you made a significant mistake and how you handled it Checklist to filter for interest in a specific program, region, and/or specialization [ ] Yes I am interested in applying to the University of Washington Seattle Track [ ] I am interested in serving the WWAMI (Washington, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho) region for the following reason(s): ___ [ ] I am interested in learning more about Collaborative Care for the following reason(s): ___ Secondary applications may help programs reduce their applicant pool to a more manageable size.
