What impressed you positively?

everyone was so darn friendly, especially the staff. Dr. Steiner was awesome too--very smart and straight-forward kind of guy

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. Maybe the student lounge; could use some new furniture. How can they expect us to go there to relax if the all the couches look over &gt;90 yrs old.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that my interviewers would be extremely nice. I heard mixed reviews about interviewers at UW so I came in pretty scared.

What are your general comments?

Endurable; was glad when it was over. All the stress was my own doing though. Like I said, my interviewers so extremely nice; they were very jocular and talkative and were constantly trying to put me at ease. However, they didn't spare me the 20 questions though. They asked many questions; standard ones but still lots of them. However, I was somewhat prepared so nothing caught me too off-guard. Be prepared to answer everything you put on the personal statement. My interviewers combed that thing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
