It is in person. They said it will be about 30 minutes. Most of the dates have filled up for mine as I was offered the 23rd and 30th of September. 

@Lord have MRSA did you take any graduate classes from the U of M prior to getting in?  If not can you share what you did to boost your application?

For the ones that got an interview, if you don't mind sharing, what are you stats and certs? Have you taken any grad level classes?

Hi ?? I just opened the “we regret to inform you” email. I’m guessing we have all received them. Sorry friend, hopefully you have other applications out this year. If not, I would feel pretty good about making the back up list!! We just need to keep at it!! Hang in there!

Anyone know how long they take to make a decision?  Are there still interviews left?  How do people feel they went?  I am such a tough personal critic I am not sure how I feel.  I did feel it was very useful talking with the other students about the program.
