How did you prepare for the interview?

Kept current on current events (but I always do), read my file, scanned the ethics website, and forced myself to RELAX.

What impressed you positively?

The entire experience was positive. Everyone went out of their way to be friendly and positive. The students, admissions staff, and panel members were all wonderful. Not only is this my state school, but it is also my top choice.

What impressed you negatively?

My interview was very late in the day, but it allowed me to talk with other applicants, staff, and students. If I had been nervous, however, it wouldn't have been good.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I wish I'd have known how pleasant the interview would be. I was expecting something different based upon this website. While it may have been true in the past that the interview experience at UW is antagonistic, that was not my experience, nor was it the experience of the other applicants (some of whom had different panels).

What are your general comments?

The day was enjoyable. I got a good feeling about the school. The student facilities aren't the best, but that is not what is important to me. Besides, what do you expect for $12,300/year? The student rec center is close and is great. The education is great. The other students, faculty and staff are great. There is no doubt in my mind that this is where I want to be.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
