How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interviewfeedback.com. Read the UW Bioethics website (http://eduserv.hscer.washington.edu/bioethics/topics/index.html)

What impressed you positively?

Students were super nice, friendly, and sharing

What impressed you negatively?

Facilities were a bit run-down although the medical center is certainly first-rate

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Skimpy lunch. I can't spend the whole day with just a small sandwich and a spoonful of pasta salad. Eat lots before you go.

What are your general comments?

Waited around some. Interviewers were running behind. Ate lunch. Went on a tour (poor tour). Interview was typically. Three people (one person had an open-file, two people (one was a fourth-year) had everything but grades and MCAT scores). Then a meeting with Offices of Multicultural Affairs - the highlight of my visit. Seems like UW has a lot of great programs if you are interested in rural primary care (like, no duh?!).
