I knew a lot about the program ahead of time, nothing really surprised me

What are your general comments?

My tour and lunch were very positive. Meeting students who attend UWSOM was great and being able to spend some time with the other students interviewing was fun. The interview itself was very negative. I was prepared to give both sides of an issue and state my opinion and why, but the interviewer cross examined me in a very agressive manner. He was annoyed with me when I refused to agree with his position on health insurance.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
