Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

Everyone from washington knows that UW is a great school. From the comments on this site and from speaking with friends I expected arrogance, but was pleasantly surprised. They actually have a lot of great programs for experiencing a lot of different settings and, of course, research.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

The tour was pretty lame, but I work in the building... I don't like that the med school is barried in the Health Sciences building... but no big deal

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

nothing

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

The interview was quite a challenge, and I expected that. They were not mean at all, however. There was a good cop, a bad cop and a neutral cop. The bad cop asked most of the questions... he clearly wanted to get me to a point where I could not answer the question, which was fine. I suppose they want someone who can get challenged a bit without falling to pieces and crying... but they were not at all malicious. I was very impressed with the interview, presention, students and the faculty I interacted with.
