What impressed you positively?

Talking with Dean Dr. Steiner. This man was amazing. Extremely friendly and very encouraging.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing. I am a UW undergrad so i'm used to the Health Sciences building

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Our interviewers were encouraged not to answer some of our questions that pertained to the school. Instead we were supposed to use our time with the dean for this. The dean explained that the interview should be focused on us, not the school.

What are your general comments?

I thought the interview went by so quick. I left thinking I didnt say all that I wanted to say about myself. The rest of day was great though. As a group we talked with the dean for almost an hour. It was wonderful. The tour was great. The sim lab was very cool. Top notch equipment. Each student has their own chair in the clinic which will be completely digital starting next year. Students seem to love the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
