What impressed you positively?

"The admission staff were incredibly friendly and helped to curb the nervousness, my interviewers were really warm, receptive, and made sure I wasn't nervous. Dr. Samson is the nicest guy." Report Response

What impressed you negatively?

"Dr. Samson and his interview crew were 40 minutes late to interview me! It was ok cuz it gave me some time to relax after having a HORRENDOUS time finding parking. They don't let you park just anywhere . . . it's very hidden, secluded, and only those who know the secret UW handshake are allowed to partake in their parking facilities. Freaking rediculous! Give yourself PLENTY of time to get there and find parking . . . and I mean WAY more time than you would EVER think necessary." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"That Dr. Samson's reputation for being cold and standoffish is completely false. He was really warm and had a good sense of humor and told me right off the bat to relax because there was no need to be nervous. Man did that help! " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Basically they just wanted to get to know me. They asked me a lot of questions about my applications, my travels, current events pertaining to my interests, etc. I got one ethical question and the usual healthcare question about finding a solution for insuring the uninsured, but nothing was that difficult nor surprising. Good experience overall except for the parking issues." Report Response
