How did you prepare for the interview?
Mock interview with girlfriend asking me questions, going over questions in my head and answer as if I was at the interview.
What impressed you positively?
The admission people made me feel very very very welcome there, I loved the people there. Students who took me around campus were very down to earth, and left me their email addresses after the lunch session. School itself is well maintained, and the library reminds me of my college days studying for classes...
What impressed you negatively?
Nothing in particular. Be prepared to walk for about 3 minutes to your interviewer's building if your one or both of your interview is in another building. (Girls often worry about whether wearing heels in going to be troublesome, but there wasn't that much walking in my opinion. Go for it ladies!)
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I wish I could have learned to enjoyed the journey of application to interview to acceptance. It is a stressful process, learning to deal with stress and cope with anxiety is an essential life skill. Looking back, I can now laugh at my own silliness in worry too much about things I can't control.
What are your general comments?
Admission wants you to do well at the interviews, do your best to boost your chance of admission!
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
I enjoyed speaking with current students at the school, and wished that I could have spent more time with students walking on campus and learn more about MUSC on the day of my interview.
