How did you prepare for the interview?

Read everything on the UW's bioethics site (that really helped!), read everything about the school, read over my own application

What impressed you positively?

All of the students and professors I met were extremely enthusiastic about the school, everyone talked about how much support they have there and how it is a community, and the location is amazing

What impressed you negatively?

Not much, I was very impressed with everything

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That research is required of every student

What are your general comments?

Overall, this one was more stressful than others I had done but it still wasn't bad. Most of the questions were very general - why medicine? why UW? - but they did make a point to ask one or two ethical questions. They were tough questions, but the interviewers were nice about it. I got the impression they weren't trying to be mean, they just wanted to see that you have thought about things like that before and you can formulate a logical and confident answer. Just be ready for something like that and you will be fine. I would really recommend reading through everything on the UW's bioethics site: http://eduserv.hscer.washington.edu/bioethics/topics/index.html
