How did you prepare for the interview?

READ the UW bioethics site! They expect you to have answers to ethical questions

What impressed you positively?

I heard that interviews were really confrontational: they were really tough, but the interviewers were friendly and conversational.

What impressed you negatively?

They don't bother AT ALL to show themselves off. The tour was really horrible. I guess that just shows you how good they are, but it kinda makes you feel like they don't think you're important to them.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Well, I wish I had known more about international medicine, but if wasn't that it would have been something else. Just me yourself, you know.

What are your general comments?

Much better than I thought it would be.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
