Dear bbb:

I'm a great fan of yours. Reading your replies to other posts has helped me tremendously. Now this is my turn to ask you a question. I was wondering if we need to bring a copy of our MSPE to our interview. My school would not send me a copy of my MSPE. I was able to view the draft before corrections were made, but my dean's secretary says she's not allowed to send me a student copy to take to the interview. Should I ask programs that have offered me interviews if I need to carry the MSPE to the interview? I know PCs are extremely busy during this season, so I'm afraid to bother them unless it's really important. Thanks so much for your help, bbb!

Only if the program tell you that they want a copy. Read your confirming email or letter carefully, if you are asked to bring documents, then do. If they don't, then don't. Although, a small folio with all your documents may never hurt, even if you don't open it. You'd feel better, nicht wahr?

Thanks a lot, bbb!
I already planned to bring all my documents with me to interviews. We can't predict which documents they'll ask for. MSPE is the only one that I don't have onhand.

Intern_doc:

Programs have been sending out interview invitations for the last month, so I guess it depends on programs. I've heard that a few programs wait until Nov 1st before deciding on whom to call for IVs.

Most of our interviews are sent before the release of the MSPE
