No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read interview feedback, UW ethics site, health policy books, Kaiser family foundation daily health updates, new york times, etc.

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was very friendly and worked hard to make all of the applicants feel comfortable. The school is AMAZING and everyone I talked to just confirmed that it is, by far, my first choice.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I was way too worked up and nervous for the interview--I had prepared myself for battle and instead found myself having a good conversation with the interviewers that was actually enjoyable.

What are your general comments?

Both my interviewers were interesting, kind people who I think really wanted to get to know me and my interests. I'd heard rumors that the UW was known for its good cop/bad cop approach--if that's the case, then my bad cop didn't show up because I felt welcomed and comfortable. Overall, it was a great experience.
