seattle, cheap, students seemed more laid back than other interviews

What impressed you negatively?

the tour was given by admissions staff, not that she wasn't nice, but it made me think they couldn't find a student willing to do it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The interviews are NOT as bad as they are legend to be. Just know a soundbite on different ethical issues...euthanasia, stem cell research, etc.

What are your general comments?

I was prepared for the worst, but it really wasn't that bad. The interviewers were pretty stoic the whole time I talked, but they weren't particularly mean. I to answer every question to the best of my ability while still being genuine...and this approached work, i was accepted.
