How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Research on MMI

What impressed you positively?

Students seemed cooperative. Good match list.

What impressed you negatively?

Felt like undergrad all over again. Not happy with the location. Very tiny feel, everyone lives on campus. 8+ places for MS3 and MS4, meaning a lot of commuting or moving. In class all day, lectures not recorded. Students didn't seem all that interested in innovation. Didn't seem like a first choice for many.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

MMI is not that bad. Be careful how you present yourself the whole day... some of the presenters and so on were our interviewers too.

What are your general comments?

Overall not a good fit for me specifically, but I think I could get a great education there if I were to attend.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

Not much! Very well organized!
