What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the students and their willingness to tell us about their school. How beautiful Seattle is! There is so much to do in the city.

The dean was out in the admissions office but did not even peek in to greet the applicants. It was not an overly friendly atmosphere when among the staff and administration.

What are your general comments?

The interview was fairly stressful because the panel did nothing to put you at ease. The questions seemed more like an interrogation than a "get-to-know-you" session. I also got the feeling they were not really listening to what I said. Almost like talking to a stone wall.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
