What are your general comments?

"Good interview, but mostly because I was prepared for everything they asked. If I hadn't been, it would have been rough. I don't think UW is arrogant, but I also don't think they know how hard other schools try to sell you on their school. UW didn't do much recruiting, they just presented the facts and seemed to think that they being who they are is enough. I was treated very well there, and will probably go there if I can."
