Congratulations! I'm a second year at SHU but I remember this process like as if it were yesterday. The questions are similar to other OT programs: In your own words, what is OT?, an ethical question or two, something about yourself, how you handle difficult situations, etc.
Don't stress
Just be yourself and learn to smile
Any questions you have are always answered. You can ask anything about job placement after graduation to level 2 FW. It's all open game and up to you what you wish to ask.

Good luck!

I am not sure if it still the same, as my interview was a few years ago, but SHU was one of my favorite interviews. All of the instructors were welcoming and open and as Running_OT said any questions you have are fair game and they are more than happy to answer them. But what made the interview my favorite was the fact that it was done in a "speed dating" style where there were about 5 faculty members and you start at one end and work your way down the line. This allowed you to get to know multiple faculty members and allowed them to get to know you so when it was time for them to make an acceptance decision they had multiple perspectives as opposed to just one, which I think is pretty cool. Enjoy the process, have fun and best of luck in your future endeavors!

Thank you, i really appreciate your response. I also know that during the interview there is pal exercise. i was wondering if any of you may please give a simple PBL example. I been reading and learning about PBL, but just a simple example would help me understand this better.

Thank you.

How was this interview? I'm interviewing shortly and I'm just as lost when it comes to the PBL component!
