How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, read UW bioethics site, read, read, read! Also, know yourself and what you believe in (and stand by your beliefs during the interview!).

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

The students seemed very happy and satisfied with UW (especially the WWAMI site students from Pullman). The admissions staff was friendly and encouraging, contrary to what many have said. There are a lot of opportunities for research and preceptorships, which is great. Also, the interviewers had obviously taken a careful/in-depth look at my application.

Students say that housing and parking are a pain. Of course, it's Seattle!
