They tell you whether you get in within two weeks or so. " Report Response

What are your general comments?

"My interviewer was the one who likes to ask about foreign policy - if you get him, don't stress out, just talk about the issues and how you feel about them! I don't think we are being judged on our standpoints. The student interview was basically a conversation, really chill. I really enjoyed the whole MCW experience - including the Thursday night social, applicant host program, etc. A couple of us even went out to some pubs the night before, which made the whole experience more relaxed, not stressful. The interview day was good too (although the faculty interview was a bit difficult). Overall a really great experience at MCW!" Report Response
