I applied to the Washington MG program when I left my office job in favor of freelance working from home, thinking I'd be able to juggle both - but it was made pretty clear to me that the MG program needed to have priority over my work schedule (an odd concept to me). It was also a pretty intimidating interview, more so than any actual job I've interviewed for. A whole table full of interviewers (perhaps 8-9), with zero humor. It was actually so off-putting that I terminated the interview after about 10 minutes, realizing it just wasn't a good fit for me. That was a bit awkward, but I was happy to get out of that stuffy room! I think each MG program is different, though, and perhaps yours is a friendlier group.
