chichipa Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 Hello everyone! Current student at Midwestern. Please feel free to DM or reply in this thread if you have any questions about the program. I might not be able to answer them all (I'm not involved in the admissions or interview process) but can answer questions about the area and the atmosphere. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you! @emilygolomy biggest tip for any interview is to be yourself (as cheesy as that sounds)! What I really mean by that is find what makes YOU unique as an applicant and know how to showcase that in your answers. When I was applying and interviewing I read something that talked about identifying the "theme" of your application. Your "theme" is what makes you a unique applicant. For example, Bernie Sanders (whether you like him or hate him) has had the same "theme" of wealth inequality since the 1970s. He somehow manages to give answers to any question in an interview that is comprehensive and ties back to wealth inequality. How many times have we all heard him say something about the top x% owning y% of the wealth in the US? I'm not saying to avoid answering the question, I'm just saying that there are ways to answer the question you are being asked in a unique way that leaves you in the faculty's memory. As stupid as it sounds, I identified my "theme" as an applicant and it helped me tie my answers together cohesively and I think also helped me stand out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phone call immediately followed by a voicemail and email. A letter is further sent weeks down the line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mgm1030 Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 Two quick questions! Does anyone know about how many people Midwestern invites to interview each cycle? Also I see that the interviews are “group” interviews, so for those who have interviewed what is typically the ratio of interviewees to interviewers in each group?

Ribyy Posted November 3, 2021 Share Posted November 3, 2021 I really hope they’re still interviewing. The schools like 15 minutes away from me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I see that the interviews are “group” interviews, so for those who have interviewed what is typically the ratio of interviewees to interviewers in each group? If I'm remembering correctly it was 6-7 interviewees in a group with 1 faculty member and the interview portion lasted about an hour. I can't remember how many people they said they interview but I believe most programs do 3-4 people for every 1 seat available. Hope this helps, good luck to you!

Pauleana Posted November 6, 2021 Share Posted November 6, 2021 I was accepted to Midwestern! I put my deposit down, but I just interviewed with a school near my hometown. I'm looking into housing options to make a pros and cons list in the case I get another acceptance. I know Midwestern offers on-campus housing but if I were to look off-campus, will I be breaking the bank? I'm not from Chicagoland so I don't know any tricks lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
