What impressed you positively?

The faculty and staff are genuinely friendly and very attentive to applicants. It's clear the student body and faculty have a mutualistic relationship that has fostered a warm and cheerful culture throughout campus. The curriculum has recently been revamped in an exciting way to account for recent advances in biomedicine and technology, and to better prepare students for the future of dentistry. There was no attempt, or need, to "sell" the school to applicants. UW's reputation precedes it, making it very attractive to the majority if applicants.

What impressed you negatively?

Parking on campus is expensive, but the city and area offers plenty of alternatives to driving. Still, cost of living in the area is relatively high with few low-cost options.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The admissions office has a very orchestrated and organized process, and those invited to interview are provided adequate details regarding the visit. Everything else can be found on their website. There were no surprises come interview day.

What are your general comments?

Fabulous experience. Very impressed.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
