Summary of Application Experience
Overall very positive - accepted after first interview (University of Minnesota) and thrilled! Still playing the waiting game with other schools I interviewed at however.
Also applied and was invited to interview at UC Riverside, withdrew my application.
Summary of Experience:
In state school, was not blown away by the interview day which was too bad :/ If I get in I would really have to think about attending...
Summary of Experience:
Really liked my interview day and interviewers, not so hot on certain aspects of the program. Campus is also very isolated but with unique population.
Summary of Experience:
Really loved the city, really disliked my student interviewer. Lackluster interview day and I did not meet any students who seemed too keen on the program. From what I have heard my experience is not the norm which is unfortunate.
Summary of Experience:
Was really impressed with the program and I love Boston, did not think either of my interviews were home runs however. One was very condescending/dismissive of my application, the other just rather dull.
Summary of Experience:
Loved everything about this school! No ties to the state, wonderful interview day, very interesting and low key students...could not be happier!
