How did you prepare for the interview?

Read the news, the UW bioethics site, this site

What impressed you positively?

I liked everyone I talked to. They were open and friendly. The interviewers were courteous and they tried to make me feel comfortable.

What impressed you negatively?

One of the interviewers was late, but it was no big deal. :-)

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The committee doesn't meet until almost Thanksgiving, so we won't hear back until then. I was expecting a response in a week.

What are your general comments?

Between this Web site and the UW bioethics site, I had already read and prepared rough answers to every question they asked me. I didn't have any surprises.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
