How did you prepare for the interview?

This sites, read a few books on HMO, AIDS and other health related issues. Kaiser Foundation site. Mock interviews. Thinking about issues honestly and critically.

What impressed you positively?

How nice the admission staff was.

What impressed you negatively?

The stress level during the interview.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviewers were genuinely nice (offered me cookies and water) they are not the interviewers from hell like others have posted. Although it is no walk-through interview, the questions were tough.

What are your general comments?

Be prepare to stay calm during the drilling. The interviewers were never disrepectful but they were constantly serious and are very attentive to what you have to say. Know when to stop bsing on subjects your not well versed in, like the National Health care topic that is probably played to death by pre-med offering a solution to the American Health Care delivery system. Overall the UW interview was tough and you might walk out feeling like you completely bombed it, but you might be surprise at the final decision. Be prepare for it or else your gonna look stupid. I hope what I have posted has helped(I know this site has helped me prepared). Goodluck future interviewees!
