No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

read over sdn, read over my application, read mssm website

What impressed you positively?

students were nice, open, welcoming, happy. described mssm as chill, noncompetitive but a great place to achieve (high board scores, good match list)

What impressed you negatively?

nothing really.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

make sure and check in with the administrative asst's before you leave for the day. student tourguide told us we could ''take off'', so I did, and turned out that I missed a short wrap up session. co-interviewee told me later. probably not a big deal, but bad form anyway.

What are your general comments?

really laid back, everyone was very nice. big emphasis on students coming by and talking to us. everyone seemed to like the school. interviewers were faculty, and they did not interrogate at all, just friendly conversation with no curve ball questions. great facilities, great location, cheap and great housing.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
