No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Not much other than getting dressed.

What impressed you positively?

The school is spectacular. Everyone is friendly and seemed very happy, even though I interviewed the week before exam week. New children's hosptial being built and entire hospital being remodeled.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview is only worth a letter of recommendation. Not much diversity. I say about 90% white, and majority in-state and from UW-madison.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I went to undergrad here and was pretty determined that this was not the school for me, but after the interview it is at the top of my list. A lot of my friends feel the same way.

What are your general comments?

Everyone was treated very well. Intro by the dean, presentations by financial aid, info on the selection process, interview, tour, lunch, discussion with 2nd and 4th year students, extensive tour (like an hour).

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
