Those of you who have received interviews/acceptances at MCW, did anyone get their interview invite via snail mail? Or was it only email?
Thanks
Thanks
Yeah, what's cool about MCW is that decisions are made within a week after your interview day (the committe meets every thurs). BTT you get it in the mail, it will probably be about 10 days (depending where you live). I interviewed there last month and recieved the acceptance approx two weeks later. good luck to you!indo said:...the post-interview decisions are mailed via USPS though. slow.

sorry, I meant e-mail. see editPeter Griffen said:So you got your interview invite in the regular mail? It seems like most everyone else got an email.
MCW fills the class before putting anyone on the waitlist, IIRC. Pretty soon (if not already), they'll have filled their class though. I know that some people have been told outright that they were interviewing for the waitlist (my student tour guide at MCW was one of these - obviously she got in later).indo said:big envelope = accepted? hmm. what about the waitlist?

yeah, it's probably pretty close. They interview ~45 people each week, so once they have enough to hit 250 or so (the class is 200, I think they offer 250 acceptances), they start filling the waitlist. Sometimes their waitlist sees a lot of movement. If I get into Northwestern, one of you guys can have my spot. 🙂 But I won't know until February. Good luck though!

That's what I was told by their staff and the students, yes.DaMota said:so are you saying that they admit everyone they interview until the class is full.

Agent Splat said:There's been a misunderstanding. They don't accept everyone they interview as you asked. Prowler is trying to say that if they LIKE you at the interview, you will be accepted, unless the class is full, then you go on the waitlist. They do reject people as a result of interviews. If that's actually accurate, I dunno. But they DO stress at interviews that everyone that gets an interview invite is "academically acceptable." So from the interview and beyond it's basically a question as to whether or not you're a homicidal psychotic arrogant arse. That and if they think you'll bring something special to the class (like cookies...everyone likes cookies).
indo said:Okay, that is how it was described to me too. I am glad I didn't show up to the interview butt ass nekkid with GO VIKS! henna tatooed on my butt cheeks, as I originally planned.
Side note: the coffee in the little gift shop/ espresso store is really good coffee.
Agent Splat said:Nah. The el cheapo French Vanilla in the cafeteria is by far the best.
One day the dispenser was screwed up and I got what tasted like a twice as strong mixture of the stuff.
My friends can attest to what happened afterwards.

Agent Splat said:First off, who have you been talking to?
Secondly, I don't need biochemical induction to do a Richard Simmons impression. Those and other more frightening things come quite naturally.
