💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
MMI- 3 standard questions, 2-3 ethical questions? Pretty standard, they didn't want us to give out specfics
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.
