How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN and practicing my answers

What impressed you positively?

The schools is very new, built only in 1996. So everything, even the oldest building on campus is in great shape. It is in a great location and Glendale is a beautiful place. The whole campus feels very laid back.

What impressed you negatively?

you NEED a car if you attend school here. MWU doesn't really feel like a university, there isn't that college atmosphere/energy to it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The resume that you attach to your application is given to the interviewers. If I had know this I would have a sent a concise, 1-page resume. Also, I would not have spent as much time reiterating what they already knew. Be aware that there is an extemporaneous essay component. Bring a pencil and eraser, because only pens and golf pencils are offered. I would have been able to better answer the essay if I brought a pencil.

What are your general comments?

The school is very nice, the neighborhood is beautiful, and student affairs is really working to create a better campus environment for its non-commuter students. This school is a WICHE PSEP participating school. From what I could tell the interview questions give completely vary from group to group. Some groups got situational questions like "if X happened what would you do?" while others got the types that are reflected on this forum. Set up= 2 faculty, 1 PS3 student 45 min interview, 10 min for questions at the end 100 word extemporaneous essay involved (bring a pencil and eraser!)

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I wish i had know that the interviewers would have access to my resume. If I had known this I would
