What are your general comments?
I arrived on Thursday night and met with about 11 other applicants at the airport. It was great to talk to so many other students about the process. Everyone was so friendly (most were from the west coast). We took the shuttle to the campus and went to the social. It's much more casual than I expected. They had some food, showed us a video about the school (which was a great way to learn more about it) and then had about 8 students sit on a panel and answer any questions we had. At the end of the evening, we were assigened to our student hosts and left home.
My student host was SO WONDERFUL. She was the greatest and we stayed up talking about the school and the experience, it was so much fun!!
The next day, I went to school with my host and attended lecture with her (got a feel for the school and the students), then went to the library and checked my email (and SDN lol). Met some other applicants and chatted with them. Had lunch at the cafeteria and went to start the interview day at 12:30. There was about 60 interviewees. We were given folders with our interviewers names. We were split into 2 groups. The group I was in had a financial aid talk, then we were split into groups of 4 students and we had our own tour guide. The small group was wonderful cuz you could really ask questions!
Then I had my 2 interviews. You check out, get a free MCW T-shirt :)
They called for a shuttle for all us flying that same night, so took the shuttle to the airport and I Was on the same flight with about 8 other applicants so I had a blast at the airport. I met sooooooo many people. Best interview I've been to and definitely the most fun!
