How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

mock interviews, sdn, MCW brochure, read over AMCAS, keep up with current events

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the students, staff, and my interviewers; the students seem really happy and seem to have time to do other things besides study; the facilities are nice; housing is cheap; and the BIG PLUS - you hear back from them a week and half after your interview so no nail biting for months and months

What impressed you negatively?

The school seems to lack diversity and the weather is horrible during winter. If you hate cold, this is not the place to go. The interview day starts late - 12:30.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the interviewers were going to be such friendly people. I could tell that they were trying their best to make me feel comfortable and the whole interview was really just a conversation.

What are your general comments?

This is a great school to interview at. First of all, MCW has the best student-hosting program that I've encountered. The Thursday night before your interview, you attend a social where they feed you (yes!)and you have the opportunity to talk to students. They also show you an informational video and have a q&a session. You get matched up with your host in the end and off you go to get some rest. Interview day is so organized here. Lunch, info session, financial aid, interviews, tour. My interviewers were great! There were no ethical questions and the interview was like a conversation that flowed well. They had obviously done their research and seemed to really want to get to know me as a person.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
