I'm not usually the type to forage through online forums, but what can I say - grad school apps are stressing me out! This should get the ball rolling...

shamu12, were you there yesterday?

[shamu12]

Yup, I was in the 1 pm group

[hsingh]

how hard is the program

[hsingh]

and how much does it cost

[hsingh]

what they ask in the interview? and how much experience required

[marisapm]

I thought it was a lot of fun and one of the more relaxing interviews. The directors know that everyone is nervous, so I wouldn't worry too much. I was impressed by the caliber of all the candidates. What has me nervous is that they are interviewing so many for so few spots and everyone is obviously qualified. I would have loved to be in the same cohort as everyone we interviewed with, but with only 24 acceptances... most likely not going to happen :/

Just be confident, be yourself, and show what you get to offer. I am sure that they will see who you are. It is an interactive interview to see teamwork, communication, critical thinking, and creativity.

I was telling Quan the exact same thing! Everyone seemed like someone I would love to get to know better. It was definitely inspiring to be in that room! Hope you had a safe flight back marisapm!

shamu12, where were you sitting?

[shamu12]

I was sitting on the side closest to the entrance and wearing a black suit.

It was truly an honor to be interviewing next to such wonderful applicants, good luck to everybody!

So I just got out of my interview right now and they told us this was the last day of interviews. They interviewed 200 applicants for 24 spots!!! They also said we would know our status by next week whether or not we got in, rejected, or wait listed. Good luck to everyone! And to those who didnt get an invite, don't lose hope! You will find a path that will lead you to your goals!!!!
