How did you prepare for the interview?

Read MMI practice questions and responses; studied ESFCOM's website; studied my application

What impressed you positively?

Faculty and students were wonderful and kind. Facilities were nice. Spokane is a nice place.

What impressed you negatively?

Separate from WSU main campus (which is in Pullman, WA) so there aren't many student amennities to have access to. No affordable parking near campus.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the MMI was going to be really chill and easy.

What are your general comments?

I was nervous about the MMI format, but it was actually just fine. The scenarios were pretty simple and the interviewers were very nice and help you feel calm.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

They told us that they send out 2 batches of offers: the first at the end of October and the next in Feb/Apr. I wish that they would send out other batches in Nov/Dec/Jan. If you don't make the Oct batch, Feb is a lonnng time to have to wait.
