  • Very short. 40 people competing for 4 spots. Group interviews with 6 prospective students and 2 faculty, random questions not necessarily related to psychology. Group dynamics seemed most important. Then group interviews with students, who griped about lack of funding but seemed happy otherwise. Optional tour led by student. Good food. You most likely will find out that day whether you're in or not.
