We offer 2 of these special visit weekends every year, once in the fall and once in the spring. There is an optional interview that starts the weekend, but the rest of the weekend is a structured event that aims to show you a more full picture of us. Register or see the schedule.
The next Experience MHGS Weekend is November 12-13, 2010.
In addition to the 2 Experience MHGS Weekends that include interviews, we also offer 2 additional interview dates (usually around February and June). If you are interested in applying to interview on one of these dates, the deadlines for your materials can be found on the application.
The next interview day is November 12, 2010.
We often have visitors that live in the area and would prefer to just drop by, and some who just plan to be in Seattle on a particular day. We would love to give you a tour and sit down to talk, and even set up a meeting with financial aid or a registrar if you have additional questions. Let us know you are coming, and we can arrange to meet you!
