good luck! make sure you have a bunch of questions for it. the interview is just with one guy and when you walk into the room he asks if you have questions for him if you don't it'll be a real short interview. know the school well! ask questions and put some of your knowledge into it like "i really like how creighton blah blah blah could you expand on how exactly blah blah blah works here? sending good vibes

Thank you for posting your stats and explanation. Congratulations on the interview. I also want to say congrats to anyone else who went back to school and committed themselves to improving their grades, I know that it is so hard but hopefully it shows that we are dedicated. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!

CONGRATS on GRU!!!! I live in Atlanta and they are my #1 as well. I submitted my secondary about a week ago, and I've yet to hear from them. We have very similar DAT's but my GPA is lower than yours (3.1 academic/3.25 sci). Good luck with them, and maybe we'll be classmates this time around 2015!
