No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Kept up on current events, read about UW, read SDN interview experiences, etc.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were better than I had expected, and the people were friendlier than I expected (but I was expecting some very cold souls!)

What impressed you negatively?

I didn't like that the tour was led by admissions instead of a student. We didn't get to talk to students much.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't think I'd even like it, but I LOVED it and I would attend right away. The opportunities to serve your clerkships during 3rd year all over the northwest are freakin' awesome! Just think...you could be in Whitefish Montana, or Alaska!!! Wow!

What are your general comments?

Coming into the interview, I didn't expect much, from what I had heard about the snottiness of the school. I had heard that EVERYONE was super arrogant. And although I didn't exactly get the warm fuzzies from EVERYONE, I thought everyone I met was very friendly. I felt that the questions in my interview were definitely challenging, but at the same time, they were friendly about it. I think that is FINE if people ask the tough questions, but they are nice about it. That's the ideal!!! Why ask boring questions and get boring answers?? :)
