✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

8 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

7 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

UW bioethics website. kept up with current events, esp. health care, generally

What impressed you positively?

two of my interviewers were friendly and encouraging. students are able to get funding for independent research projects and overseas trips.

What impressed you negatively?

one of my interviewers couldn't have appeared more bored. he kept looking at his watch. facilities are unimpressive, to put it very mildly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

that I'd be far less impressed with the school after my interview than I was going in. this comment probably won't make sense to you until you've interviewed there.

What are your general comments?

the powers-that-be at this school are a bit too full of themselves. as the school is the only one serving five states, this is somewhat understandable, however, it's quite off-putting. I suspect they deter quite a few worthy candidates with this attitude.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
