Summary of Experience:
Rejected after primary application; Did not know that the out-of-state numbers for this school include the students from Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, and Idaho. If you exclude those regional states, the percentage of students from out-of-"region" is close to 5%. If I knew this beforehand, I probably would not have applied here.
Summary of Experience:
First interview and also first post-interview rejection of the cycle. MCW gets back to interviewees with an answer after a week. Definitely was not a pleasant experience reading that first rejection email, but in the end I think it helped me because I was motivated to prepare better for my later interviews. Maybe the first interview nerves got the better of me...
Summary of Experience:
In-state school and one of my top choices! My interview here only bumped the school up higher on my list. So grateful to be accepted here!
