✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

9 out of 10

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and went over possible interview questions

What impressed you positively?

Everyone seemed friendly and willing to help. Overall had a good experience at MCG. No class ranking and there is a support system set to help all students succeed.

What impressed you negatively?

There was a lot of down time especially if your interviews are an hour after others interviews. Also bring a pair of walking shoes because you could potentially walk a couple of miles during your visit, seriously.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Nothing, I felt prepared.

What are your general comments?

Had two interviews, one with a committee member and one with a non-committee member. They tell you before your interviews which one is a member and which one is not. If the committee really likes you, your application could potentially be examined at the next meeting as opposed to sitting for a month or longer. The only part of the interview that you are examined is during the interviews; at no other point are you being evaluated during the day. The interview day was stress free so be yourself and enjoy your time there.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Train the tour guides, please.
