How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Composed answers to "standard questions", spoke with friends who go to medical school at UW.

What impressed you positively?

The overwhelming enthusiams shown by the students about everything- student-faculty realtionships, student-student relationships, the laid-back atmosphere of fun and support, etc. I was also really impressed by the fact that 90% of the first and second year students volunteer at free clinics around the city.

What impressed you negatively?

Well everyone (including current students) says that parking is such a huge issue, but I'm from a big city so I didn't think it was so bad.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was assuming that we would be able to take a tour of the new facilities, but we only got a "virtual tour".

What are your general comments?

My interview experience was extremely positive and relaxed. I honestly don't know how anyone could NOT love UW! Every single student I spoke to talked about the great atmoshpere at the school and the fact that everyone works together. I think that student satisfaction is the most important way to evaluate a school and the student here definitely seem happy!
