How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the New York Times, UW bioethics websites, read as much as I could about healthcare problems, Mock interview, and generally tried to stay up to date on current events.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were very friendly and seemed very interested in what I had to say in the interview as well as what I had said in my personal statement. The first years that we ate lunch with were very honest and great to talk to. Lots of good feedback on the positives and negatives of the school.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, it was really presented well and the people were great.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing.

What are your general comments?

Everything about the day was relatively laid back to what I had read previously on this site. Everyone in the interview was friendly, which is not to say that they didn't ask difficult questions or push you on what you had to say, they just weren't hostile about things. The tour, lunch and sitting in on the class were also very nice.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
