Interview with Claremont McKenna Director of Graduate Admissions

Hey everyone. I just got a reply and posted it on my website. Kevin was extremely helpful and I think he provided some great insight and looks to be someone who is willing to work with prospective students and really cares about his program.

Awesome job Anthony. CMC will be on my shortlist of American Masters programs should I decide the degree is necessary. I'll definitely consult with you about it when I get to that crossroads.

Thanks man.

Have been using your blog a little as of late, so thank you for the effort of trying to bring everything together in one place. I just have one comment or "suggestion" (Don't hate me, I'm picky haha) and that is if you could include start dates to the programs. I know that's something a prospective student can find out once he clicks on the link, but in many cases it's not that simple. I visited St.Gallen's site and found out that they start in September. Okay, pretty standard but I decided to email them to confirm that. I got a response stating that they also have a start date for the Spring semester. I would not have know that by just visiting their website. Now, I'm sure there are other programs that also let students begin over the Winter break or enter during the Spring semester. Searching ALL of the programs that one is interested in is a time-consuming task.

Just a thought, that's all. Maybe you already thought about that or about adding other information. Good job on the blog though, it's nice to have a place with links to all the programs.

Thanks for the suggestions. I am actually going to be putting together the mother of all excel sheets. It is going to take a little time. I have a lot going on, but it is a work in progress.
