I just withdrew my app off the active list so hopefully that helps someone

 

[OvO425]

During my interview, they didn’t have a set list of questions they asked. They kind of just wanted to get to know you and it was open for you to ask any type of questions you wanted. It was more of a conversation then them pressuring you with a list of questions.

 

[OvO425]

had my interview this last weekend at it was a breeze, they have a really impressive campus and faculty. btw program is basically full from what I could tell, and there is one more interview date in early February after that they'll let us know.
