✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

Read reviews on here, looked at practice interview questions and answered them out loud.

What impressed you positively?

The interview was very laid back. I was expecting it to be intimidating and hard, but everyone was very nice and the interviews were more like conversations with a colleague rather than being interviewed.

What impressed you negatively?

The roads were very confusing due to construction and I got lost several times driving around Charleston...something that would resolve very quickly living there. I wasn't thrilled that our interviews were around campus, but they had people in place to help explain where to go or to walk you all the way to the interviewer's office.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That it was not going to be as intimidating as I thought it would be and that once you get an interview, they are really advocating for you to be a good candidate.

What are your general comments?

I really like MUSC. I was afraid I wasn't going to, but it was a really nice school. I really like the fact that there are so many different colleges within the university, and we are able to interact with the other colleges from the get go. Everyone there is VERY nice and truly love the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
