How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, school website, talked to current students, reviewed UW bioethics website, read up on health policy and current events.

What impressed you positively?

I love the area (its where I currently live), and the staff in the admissions office was wonderful and engaging. The students were great. The programs and opportunities were all top notch.

What impressed you negatively?

The interview. For some reason the UW seems committed to an old-school type intimidating interview style. All the other schools I've interviewed at (some with reputations just as good asthe UW) were friendly, outgoing, and relaxed and very interested in selling their school as well as learning about me. These guys seemed uninterested and aloof about their institution.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nada

What are your general comments?

Great school. Great feel. Seriously turned off by the interviewers which sort of hurt my whole view of the place.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
