How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN for sure.

What impressed you positively?

The program is the most impressive thing. This was my #1 school when I was applying, but I hadn't been to Seattle before. I really like the city and the campus.

What impressed you negatively?

The facillities isn't the best but I'm willing to live with that for fours years. The school shares a floor with other health sciences.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

how expensive the university district is. I'm glad I stayed with someone in Seattle the whole time until the night before the interview when I got a hotel, it was the cheapest in the area but it was still super expensive.

What are your general comments?

The interview was the most thorough and indept interview about me that I've every had. It was difficult and I'm really glad that I spent 3 days to prepare for the interview and the essay.I wish that the sdn site had examples of UWb's essays. The essay questions were: 1. Should tabacco be sold in pharmacies or not. Defend your arguement. 2. if you had to write a letter to a pharmacy patient about their drug, how would I write it? 3. Is it ok to get medications from other countries?

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
