10 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Looked up practice interview questions, read blogs, and read the news about current healthcare related news (research and other issues).

What impressed you positively?

How happy and welcoming everyone was! They made me feel at home and were all so nice I felt so happy thee entire day!

What impressed you negatively?

Housing for students was sort of vague about what the best options were. My impression is you need a car, especially one that can handle snow.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the weather would be horrible and too bad to drive so then I wouldn't have had to buy a last minute plane ticket.

What are your general comments?

Absolutely fell in love with the school. This was my last choice school going in but became one of my top choices leaving. Everyone was so kind and welcoming I could tell people were genuinely happy there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Keep it up! They were awesome, especially helping me actually get there! My flight from Seattle to Yakima got cancelled and they were so helpful and understanding while I was scrambling to get to Yakima. They also had fresh coffee available as soon as we arrived for the interview because they knew a bunch of us did not get a lot of sleep due to the late arrivals to Yakima on the shuttles.
