How did you prepare for the interview?

Read a book about healthcare in the US (definitely reccomended), read my application, this site, UW bioethics site

What impressed you positively?

I was expecting to be grilled during the interview, but my interviewers tried to make me comfortable and gave me positive feedback on some of my answers; the new small group/ mentoring system

What impressed you negatively?

I know everyone says this, but the tour. I would have liked to see some of the hospital wards

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

What are your general comments?

I enjoyed the interview day at UW. The staff, faculty, students, and other applicants were friendly. UW started as my top choice, the interview confirmed this, and since I was recently accepted, I will be attending. If you interview here, just relax and try to be yourself. They are looking for genuine people who have at least thought about some of the current topics in healthcare.
