What impressed you negatively?

"My interview was very late in the day, but it allowed me to talk with other applicants, staff, and students. If I had been nervous, however, it wouldn't have been good." Report Response

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

"I wish I'd have known how pleasant the interview would be. I was expecting something different based upon this website. While it may have been true in the past that the interview experience at UW is antagonistic, that was not my experience, nor was it the experience of the other applicants (some of whom had different panels)." Report Response

What are your general comments?

"The day was enjoyable. I got a good feeling about the school. The student facilities aren't the best, but that is not what is important to me. Besides, what do you expect for $12,300/year? The student rec center is close and is great. The education is great. The other students, faculty and staff are great. There is no doubt in my mind that this is where I want to be." Report Response
