This was recently sent out by the UW(Foster)Adcom. I give them some mad props for being pretty damn truthful about how someone should pick a school. It is nice to have a "spin-free" interaction from time to time, and they certainly nailed this one.

Maybe I was joking - as the only document that wouldn't have BS would be non-existent =)

westsider,
i had just finished readin the newsletter in my mail from UW n was amazed at how honest and candid they r bout themselves. Like most here m tired of listening to wat people want me to listen. I was so impressed by this Dan Poston that I wrote him a mail commending him on his honest article and I also wrote him a couple of questions. Like u said, they hit the nail right on the head. Gr8 job
