How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read 'Understanding Health Policy,' by Boddenheim, UW Bioethics website, Newsweek and Time, NY Times.

What impressed you positively?

The interviewees weren't as scary as what I've read and heard, they were very supportive, giving me lots of positive feedback. And they asked a lot of questions about me, which I was surprised by...because of what I've heard about their interviews

What impressed you negatively?

The day seemed very scattered. You have to organize your own day. I wish they had a more formalized orientation rather than the question/answer during lunch.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

No responses

What are your general comments?

Good overall experience. I think the UW has an unfair image as this difficult, tricky, mean interviewing school-an experience unlike my own.
