How did you prepare for the interview?

I came up with questions to ask during my interview.

What impressed you positively?

1.For 2003, UW placed 2nd on Part II, and 5th or 6th on Part I of the Boards. 2.16 students in the class of 2003 were accepted to residency programs (17 applied) 3.Major emphasis in developing competent hand skills 4.I like all the students...most are very easy going and well rounded. 5.The faculty that I have met are very supportive and encouraging but push you to be the best you can be. 6.UW is a major research instution 7.Location (Seattle is an amazing city) 8.UW is nearly as competitive as Harvard to become accepted, yet UW only chooses students from Washington state and the WICHE program whereas Harvard chooses from the entire nation. For the class of 2007, UW had an overall GPA of 3.68 and DAT scores were a 21 AA, and a 19 PAT. Harvard had an overall GPA of 3.7 and DAT scores were a 22 AA, and a 20 PAT. 9.Small class size of 55 10.The dental school is in the Health Sciences Building and next to the UW Medical Center which means the dental students are surrounded by other students in the health professions and science disciplines. 11.The grand total with in-state tuition is $135,000!

What impressed you negatively?

I wish UW was on a P/F system.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The B wing of the dental school (which contains some of the graduate programs and the emergency and radiology clinics) is going to be remodeled.

What are your general comments?

I had a great time at my interview. My interview was not stressful and my interviewers were friendly, sincere, and easy to talk to. It seems like the UW really wants well rounded and highly intelligent students in the dental school. The interview experience does not have that "car sales man" feel.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
