Same boat, same question. I know a graduate of the program (class of '08), so I'll ask her some questions. But she attended while the program was in transition (her first year was MPT, after that DPT), so she didn't have the best or most representative experience. She did say that sometimes the professors seemed more focused on their research than their teaching, which is inline with U.W.'s role as a research facility. Students in her class were also disappointed they did not get into the clinical settings they were most interested in. But I haven't talked to her in a while, so I don't know how she feels about her education now that she's had time to reflect on it and compare it to colleagues. I'll talk to her again and report back. Any specific questions I should ask?
Can someone start a separate thread on U.W. experiences? It seems like one would be useful for each school we're considering. I'll post to that or create one after I talk to her.
