How did you prepare for the interview?

Having my parents ask me questions Answering questions by myself

What impressed you positively?

Everyone was friendly, and the faculty made sure to give us pep talks before we went into our actual interview. They created a very relaxed environment in such a high stakes situation.

What impressed you negatively?

Nothing, honestly.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I didn't exactly understand how the interview would be conducted. The real interview took place after about an hour long welcome and introduction. This happened in a break out room with two interviewers. The breakout room is only open for 45 minutes.

What are your general comments?

I was happy with how my interview day went. However, I did seem to get interviewers that were a tad bit newer to MUSM. They tended to just ask questions, opposed to what I heard about it feeling like a conversation. Throughout the interview, we all seemed to get a more comfortable, so everything still went fine.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

The admissions office has been great so far! Can't wait to get to know them better.
