What was the most difficult question?
each question is challenging in its own way. but i did not find one more difficult than the other. the questions asked were pretty general and should not make you feel nervous if you are well prepared.
What impressed you positively?
the campus is new and nice. the faculty were great, especially the dean, who struck me as very friendly and approachable. the entire interview process was well set up and i did not feel as nervous as i thought i would be.
What impressed you negatively?
the city of downers grove is a little bit far from downtown chicago, and it is a typical suburb. i dont mind this that much, though.
dont expect a bustling campus. it was pretty empty. so if you're the type who gets high from busy settings and needs this as a "drug", MWU is not the place. personally i dont mind much either, but im just letting you know just in case.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
check the chicago area weather before you come. it started raining like crazy in the middle of the interview, which impeded the campus tours from taking place.
