Hey Guys!
My interview is in a couple of days.

Would love to hear experiences of those who already interviewed (very little info here).. especially, on the extempore piece. Can we really talk about ANY topic? Like any? What topics would be suitable to talk about?

Thanks in advance for the tips and ideas!

Hi. I am a R3 applicant(international) and received the II on Feb.8th.
I haven't selected the interview date yet because I was thinking of which option to take: skype or campus visit.
whether skype or campus visit will not affect the admissions result, right? I believe it won't but quite concerned.
Anyway I hope everything goes well with your interview.
**Sorry, I also don't have any idea with Carlson's interview experience at this moment.

Hi lego2020,

Congratulations on being invited to interview. You will not be at an additional advantage or disadvantage by attending the interview either on campus or Skype. However if you are more comfortable in doing your interview in person and/or if you would like to visit the campus, participate in a class and interact with current students, you should try to visit campus.

Let us know what you choose to do, and all the very best!

Hi Guys,
I have a doubt.
I submitted my application on Jan 31st, 2018.
How many days must we wait before we get an interview invite?
If we were in contact with any of the Adcoms previously do they still take an interview?

Thanks

AdmitJA Hi. Thank you for clarifying the point I really wanted to know.
To give you some notes, I decided to take the skype interview and would plan class visits at a later date after concluding some of my personal affairs. lol.

Awesome! In that case I will recommend you to try to come to Carlson on Up Close, the weekend event for admitted students on April 5th and 6th. Here is the link: https://carlsonschool.umn.edu/degrees/m ... a-up-close

Hi leshwarnag,

It is hard to pin point a date. I guess you should hear from the school by next week. Fingers crossed for you. All the best!
