interview

Hey everyone! So.. My girlfriend had her interview with Texas Tech University's Marriage and Family Therapy Master's program on Friday, and it seems the group interview might not have gone that well. Some stronger personalities really dominated the social scene and took up much of the air time...

Hi! I recently received an interview for St. John's School PsyD program. I am so thrilled! I was wondering if anyone had any insight on how likely you are to be accepted if you were offered an interview? I've heard mixed answers from people: some say the interview is just a formality and...

In this episode of Admission Straight Talk, host Linda Abraham addresses the concerns of medical school applicants who have not yet received interview invitations. She debunks the myth that not receiving an invitation by Thanksgiving means rejection and shares insights from several admissions...

I wanted to know how people prep for an interview at a newly opened medical school to be a part of the inaugural class. I'm OSS and have no ties to the state and really grateful for this opportunity, however, since there isn't any information available except for what the school gives you I'm...

I wanted to know if anyone has actually benefited from sending a letter of intent and if it's worth it. I wanna prepare one and discuss what I will be doing in the spring semester and sent it in the beginning of January. I've already interviewed the school in November (VCU) and it's my top...

I've applied to 24 medical schools this cycle from a broad list. Using MCAT of 518, I applied to 25% of schools at <25th percentile, 50% between 25th and 75th, and 25% at >75th. So far, I've gotten 0 IIs, 0 A, and so far 6 pre-II rejections. Here is my list: R Boston University Aram V...

Hello! I consider this a companion piece to the thread discussing post-II Rs. To preface, I was fortunate enough to get an II, despite my very choppy record (@Goro knows a lot about it). With that said though, I would like to avoid a fate that happened to me in a previous cycle – the dreaded...

So as context, I am very determined to go into an MD/PhD program, and I applied to both the MD and MD/PhD programs at my target school with the intention of reapplying and transferring into MD/PhD if I only get in MD the first time. Research has been a really strong part of why I want to go into...

I found these 2 very helpful: 1) UCSF Faculty on the "6 to 8 Weeks" podcast discussing where to apply and how signals may be treated by programs: https://peds-ortho.simplecast.com/episodes/choosing-where-to-apply-for-residency 2) This youtube video goes into depth on signaling: Do you have...

I'm set to graduate from my HPM fellowship in June and have been in the thick of the job search since end of December. I've done a few interviews and have more upcoming but have yet to receive a job offer. I was wondering what the timeline usually is between the final interview (site visit) and...

Hi all! I have my interview with USF Morsani COM coming up and I’m trying to prepare for it right now. I checked out the SDN specific thread for interviews that kind of has all of this gathered information about what to expect including a few questions that were asked of students that day (I...

Greetings, everyone! I recently graduated from the OT program and passed the board exam, so now I am looking into jobs in Washington state and California (I applied for licenses in these states). My wish is to work with adult populations in any setting, and as I was looking into the jobs, I...

Hello!! One of the schools I received an interview for let us know that there will be a written prompt with a scenario having to do with a client & psychologist. Has anyone else had an experience/interview such as this one? Any ideas on how the questions can be worded/what the prompt can sound...

"Why did you not take a gap year?" was a question posed to me by an interviewer at a T5 school about a month ago. She did acknowledge that the question was "perhaps unfair". I looked around at fellow interviewees—partially looking for inspiration and partially gauging whether I would even have...

Hi! I just got invited for an interview for SMU! I was wondering what experience some of you may have had either this year or in recent years?

How would you explain for poor academic performance during one of your undergraduate semesters? Should you place the blame on yourself (for example poor study habits) or outside environmental factors? (such as being first-gen or struggle with finance)

Hello, I got an interview at my top choice medical school. Interview is 30 min with a medical student and 8 MMI stations. I bought Dr. Grey's interview prep book. Bought a mock interview with prep questions with a prep program, and I'm looking around online for anything else that can help me...

I'm a current first-year veterinary student applying for the Army HPSP. I have searched through older forums but haven't seen many for this cycle. My packet is basically complete (at least for paperwork to submit on my end and completing MEPS). I received an email a couple of days ago saying...

I'm just curious. Let's say you are taking a full-time schedule for fall quarter/semester, how do you setup interviews with schools?

Does anyone know of who can help out with doing mock interview? I have an interview with Ohio University DPT school in couple weeks and needed some help. Willing to pay too. Also if anyone has been accepted to Ohio University, does anyone remember what the questions were or like? Thanks!

Was talking to some friends about this. I don’t attend but interviewed within the last few years. During the scheduled “chat” with the admissions director he asked me if I had applied to another specific school…I said yes. He asked me if I liked the admissions process there — instinctually I...

what's the best way to approach the why medicine question during interviews? should the answer be straightforward in 3-4 sentences, or is it better to use a personal anecdote (i feel like that would make the answer way too long, plus i used most of my why medicine anecdotes for my personal...

Hey everyone, I somehow just realized the two interviews I signed up for were eastern standard time. So they will be starting at 6 AM in the morning, not 9 AM. I feel like an idiot. Do you think they will allow me to reschedule for the PM time? Is it worth emailing the admissions department and...

I know I shouldn’t dwell too much on the past, but I’ve been worrying about a group interview I had for a school recently with other interviewees. [deleted for anonmity] Thanks for any insight!

So I recently got my first interview invitation, and I’m incredibly happy I was invited as my stats aren’t exactly the most impressive: GPA: 3.62 Science GPA: 3.7ish DAT: 18 Dental Assistant for over a year with over 100 shadowing hours. As I live in Alaska, making my way out to Michigan is...

I received an interview with an MD school in Michigan about a week ago and was wondering if I should visit the campus to get a better understanding of the community and maybe meet some current students there. If I do visit should I talk about it during my interview to show my dedication to...

Hi everyone, (Taken from Becoming a Student Doctor resources) As interview invitations get sent out, it will be of interest to see if any of your programs ask you to participate in a Kira Talent or similar asynchronous MMI-like assessment. It is prevalent in many health professional...

Hi Everyone, Please help me decide :O I love DO schools and luckily I got accepted to two good DO schools. The Kansas City University of Medicine in Joplin and WesternU in Lebanon, Oregon. KCU Pros: 1. Strong rotation sites. 2. I love their curriculum 3. $10k cheaper (But I don't care, with...

I am interviewing for my first job out of training. Any tips on the most important red flags to look out for in the employers? Anything specific that the employer does or says that would be a deal breaker or should have me think twice before taking the job? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

I was invited for an interview for the Dartmouth accelerated MPH program and someone on SDN said in a webinar they mentioned all accepted candidates get a 20 min phone call with an alum, and that the interview was not so much an assessment but rather a chance to ask alum questions to see if it’s...

I have an individual and my first group interview on zoom next week. I haven't done a group interview before so I don't really know what to expect. What topics or questions would they might ask? How long are usually the sessions? All I know about the group interview is that they will have us...
