What are your general comments?

"UW's interview is notorious for being strenuous, and that's for good reason. The interview is 3 on 1 and the interviewers are NOT excited to interview you. There is generally a good cop, bad cop, and a bored cop. The good cop isn't nice, he's just not mean. The bad cop pokes holes in everything you say, and the bored cop slumps on the table and pretends you're not there. Even if you do answer the questions well, you have no idea if they liked it or not. Definitely not a conversation...more like an interrogation. Stick to your guns and be confident. Don't let them push you around. I was surprised that I wasn't rejected." Report Response
