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.
