What impressed you positively?
The people were very friendly yet serious about their education. The facilities were also very nice compared to other schools that I interviewed at.
What impressed you negatively?
Construction around the school made it difficult to find somewhere to park. Other than that there was nothing that I didn't like.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
Find more comfortable shoes because you'll be on your feet a lot. Also you don't need a notebook because they give you one and you can't take one into the MMI anyways. Finally, I wish I knew that I should relax more, a calm demeanor is an asset at an MMI.
What are your general comments?
Honestly I was blown away by the school. Loved everything that I saw even though the interview stressed me out. Also even though they say they will call everyone with acceptances two weeks after the interview my group didn't get our calls for 3 weeks so don't worry if you haven't heard back in 2.
What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
Honestly I can't think of any improvements you could make to the interview day. It took slightly longer to hear back than what we were told but that's how things go sometimes so it wasn't a big deal. Also make sure you tell people that there is a key chain and a piece of paper inside the water bottles; several other applicants and I put water in them without looking and ended up with a paper and metal slushie.
