How did you prepare for the interview?

UW bioethics website along with just staying on top of what's happening in the news and world. Listen to NPR/BBC to learn more about international healthcare!

What impressed you positively?

Very friendly staff, students, and city. It was great, I fell in love the moment I left the airport for Seattle, and I've never been there before. The people were so accomodating and the interviewers seemed like they REALLY wanted to get to know ME. The neglected GPA/MCAT at that point, it was all on the essays and interview!!

What impressed you negatively?

CAn't say much here, possibly that during one of the questions I was asked to stop and another question was asked. But I guess that wasn't so bad because I found it soon after I got in so I guess the interview went well! :-)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Coming from California, I didn't know the residency status requirements for Washington. I wish I would've thought about this earlier so I could've asked more questions regarding it during the day.

What are your general comments?

As stated above, it was great. I really felt like I was not trying to sell myself, but rather trying to just converse with my interviewers. The second interview of the day for me was even better, we didn't even formally interview, it was more like a chat. WE just talked about everything from sports to weather, it was wonderful! What can I say, I loved it!!

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
