Midwestern University Glendale Interview

[Liza_Ann_92]

Hi everyone!

I received an invite to interview with MWU in Glendale. I'm excited since this is my second time applying. I was on the interview waitlist the first time and my GRE stats are higher now. What should I expect (questions, suggestions, advice) and what will help prepare me? The interview will be virtual, so it saves a trip to the school.

Thank you

Hey, I'm a student at MWU. Definitely have a good understanding of what Speech and Language are together and separately. Other than that, have good examples of your experiences and show them you can speak to them as a person. My GRE scores and GPA were not strong at all, so you will do well. I had a lot of experience as an RBT and am trilingual which helped. 

You will learn so much in this program!

Very awesome! Thanks for the tips  

My GPA and GRE scores aren't anything to brag about. They're not strong but I plan to talk about my work and tie them into speech path.

Hi, congrats on getting an interview!! I have not submitted my app for Midwestern yet. But I was wondering if you submitted a personal statement? I know it is optional for their program but I'm feeling like it would be best to do so anyways, so I was just wondering if you did. 

Thanks :)

Hi! I did submit a personal statement. I figured why not do it and see what happens lol

Hey! I just received an invitation to interview and wanted to ask how the interview process was for you (especially since it was online)? Anything you suggest that I look into in terms of preparing for the interview?

Hi! Congratulations on getting an interview! Everything is virtual. We completed a 30-minute writing sample (camera's on) where we received prompts in the chat, wrote the essay on a word document, and emailed it to the admissions counselor. We were called in groups of 3 doing individual interviews. They give you 15 minutes. It was relaxed and the professors want to get to know you and what inspires you to pursue a career as an SLP. I'd prepare a list of questions to help you prep and questions for them as well.

Good luck!! Be confident and own it

I received an acceptance yesterday afternoon! I'm conflicted as I have committed to my top choice. MWU has a great program and it's 30 minutes from me, but it's pricy and full-time ?

Hey, did you eventually accept the offer?
