How did you prepare for the interview?

looked at the UW bioethics site (one of the ethics questions came directly from it), read SDN, etc

What impressed you positively?

talking with admissions staff and the students, the latter of which really enjoy the UW

What impressed you negatively?

One of the interviewers was either half asleep or trying to provoke me. He kept asking ridiculously stupid questions, and only stopped (or let up?) after I had corrected him 5 or 6 times.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews are almost always behind schedule (I waited 30 minutes!), so bring a book.

What are your general comments?

This was the most intense interview that I've done. The interviewers (with the exception of the one described above) were not unfriendly, but were extremely serious, and they didn't seem too interested in getting to know me as a person. Rather, I felt like I was taking a test, and am disappointed that the UW feels that they need to take this approach to screening applicants.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
