What impressed you positively?

" Report Response

What are your general comments?

"seriously guys, there are not out to interrogate you. maybe they used to, but i saw none of that. mutual respect was evident. they were genuinely interested in getting to know me and a large protion of the interview were discussions unique to my situation. they did throw in a few expected hard ball question but i did a lot of prep before hand. i can see that if i didn't i probably be feeling pretty sick right now. these questions were fair game and a few follow up questions were asked but they weren't out to challenge me, just looking to see the depth of my understanding. those people with negative feedback probably didn't prepare well or just don't understand the reasoning for the interviewer's actions. a seperate note... don't let the tour fool you. the labs they show you are run down, but these are the labs that are close in proximity. go further west and you'll see all the brand new labs. the udub affiliated fred hutch cancer research center is a beautiful campus with great labs. the school's NIH funding should speak for itself.
