How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

uw bioethics, a book "health care meltdown," tried to relax.

What impressed you positively?

the students are way chill and seem to really like the school.

What impressed you negatively?

the interviewers (especially the Executive committee member) were stone-faced and very interogative. i felt like i was on the witness stand. they never acted like they were even mildly interested or impressed about what i was saying (and i consider my experiences not boring). the only reason i think i did ok is because i kept my wits about me and didnt get flustered.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

why the interviewers have to be so dang unfriendly. ok i realize that they are just testing your ability to act under pressure but come on, cant we all just get along? seriously though, its a great school and im sure they have to do that to do weed us out. (ill be really glad when people stop trying to weed me. 4 years is enough)

What are your general comments?

great students, would be an amazing place to study, hold on to your seat because they are not looking to be your friend.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
