How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN (although some of the feedback made me feel more nervous than necessary), my college bioethics classes helped me answer the numerous ethical questions

What impressed you positively?

The warmth of the admissions staff and all three of my interviewers. They made me very comfortable.

What impressed you negatively?

Although I really enjoyed meeting 2 students, I wish I could have met a few more.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I got slightly lost on my way to the admissions office - allow plenty of extra time.

What are your general comments?

If you want to have a good interview, just relax and expect to be challenged with questions that don't have obvious right or wrong answers - after all, that's what doctors are faced with everyday. If interviews used to be worse at UW, then they are working hard to change their reputation, because I had a great experience.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
