I may be biased but I thought Marian's MMI was not as intimidating as my other MMIs. I looked up how to answer MMI questions and I think it helped a lot. For example, when answering an ethical dilemma question, you should consider the worst and best outcomes of both decisions before choosing an answer (aka. the 2 x 2 design). Provide a personal experience when applicable and leave room for empathy (Putting yourself in someone else's shoes and consider how it would be different).

All of these may seem obvious, but it really helped me organize my thoughts during the interview. I hope this helps! At the end of the day, they really just want to make sure that you are an individual with feelings, can empathize with others and is sensitive to different cultures. Good luck!

I'm going! I thinking of bringing my parents. Not sure yet! Would that be fine?

 

[le_purrde]

Do they provide interviewer contact info after the interview to send thank you emails? Or are they not expected/accepted here?

 

[Siromas]

II!

 

[TeamMed123]

Just curious, can you call them and ask why if you weren't selected for an interview?

 

[ju2323]

I'm going! I thinking of bringing my parents. Not sure yet! Would that be fine?

I was wondering the same thing! Also, does anyone know what the attire is for open house day?

 

[Fairplay]

II!

Congrats! When did you get the complete email?

 

[tantoon]

Do they provide interviewer contact info after the interview to send thank you emails? Or are they not expected/accepted here?

I sent a thank you to the COMadmissions email, and they responded really positively and said they would add the thank you to my file. You could always search for your interviewer's email online or ask the office of admissions for their email address!

 

[Siromas]

Congrats! When did you get the complete email?

Late September!

So if we accept a place on the waitlist, we will HAVE to pay $1000 if we are accepted?

[Snork]

Good luck today for those that interviewed last weekend.

If you plan on accepting the open seat and attending school, you’ll pay the same deposits that everyone pays.

Is the trend for decisions to be made within a week of interviewing?

 

[diesel2202]

Is the trend for decisions to be made within a week of interviewing?

It's 1-3 weeks and they typically let you know if they didn't get to review your app.

When were you 100% complete? You might want to check your portal MU-COM is usually very diligent on their 4 week notice after you're complete.

[cuc717]

Just got accepted as well! Super excited to meet all of you next year!

 

[Octossy]

Sure. LizzyM 71 and was complete in late Aug.

 

[Hopeful101]

Waitlisted.
I know that they said about 50% of people get accepted of alternative list,

1. But does anyone know if they tell us our ranks/quartiles on the list?
2. Also do they want updates/ a letter of intent?
I really hope to get off the waitlist, but the email made it seem like we're just supposed to wait.

Did you end up accepted? Also did you interview at Nova by any chance?

 

[kubyx]

Waitlisted as well I had what I would consider one of the better interviews I have ever been on here, and I absolutely loved this school, so I'm definitely a little disheartened. Here's to hoping I make it off the WL
