<p>This is a timely question. Hopefully more students add posts if they were accepted to HMC without an interview. </p>
<p>My son did not call to arrange a local interview quick enough, so all slots were full. We visited HMC last spring, and he attended some classes. So we know he likes it. If he gets accepted, we would probably arrange another trip just to be sure he understands the intensity of Mudd. But at this point we can’t justify the time/money for an interview trip to HMC (a higher priority would be a first visit to Carnegie Mellon). We’ll hope his essay conveys his interest and fit.</p>
