Those of you that did have a good/bad experience with UW interviews, who did you interview with? do you have any names? I'll be interviewing with Dan Poston. I've tried to find out some information on him and only know that he is an assistant dean, and that's all I know. Also, does anyone have any suggestions for great places to eat while I'm there or areas to look at for possible housing?
I interviewed with Erin Dennett and know a little about Dan Poston.
Erin was extremely nice and we had a relatively conversational interview. It went approximately 45 minutes. She asked most of the typical questions, including those asked in the essays.
Dan Poston is a dean of some sort. He is a former practicing attorney who went back to get his MBA. I think he came from Stanford and likes experiential learning. That is about all i have got.
There are so many different types of restaurants, so I will list those near campus and my favorites.
My favorite place to eat near campus is
Aladins, they have
great gyros.
Agua Verde is near campus and very popular for the atmosphere more than the food (they are on the water south of campus).
Here are my favorite restaurants in town:
Flying Fish - Belltown (seafood, fun, moderate to expensive)
Pair - near campus (eclectic, fun, moderate to expensive)
La Spiga - Capital Hill (authentic Italian, I love this place, moderate)
Pesos - Lower Queen Anne (neuvo mexican, great breakfast too, becomes a bar scene at night, moderate)
Wild Ginger - downtown (pan asian, expensive and very popular, get a reservation)
Great places to go for drinks and views:
Edgwater Hotel - The bar in the edgewater has a great view and atmosphere, especially on a nice day (go during happy hour because it is expensive). The restaurant is supposed to be good.
Anthony's (Kirkland and Seattle) - has a good view and decent food
