At the school

How did you prepare for the interview?

Did nothing. Reviewed what the MMI was all about but that's it.

What impressed you positively?

The facilities were really nice and the students seemed very down to earth.

What impressed you negatively?

They still split their coursework into traditional classes. That bugged me a lot. And the facilities seem a bit over-the-top...money spent on making it that good could have been spent else ware better. I really didn't like the MMI, and they the faculty seemed extremely devoted to it.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

How much the MMI would suck.

What are your general comments?

Looks like a well-run school with a rising reputation. When they change their curriculum and finish the renovations they have planned it will be pretty top-notch.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

I absolutely hated the MMI. I do much better with traditional interviews, not "put you on the spot" scenarios.
