What are your general comments?
You'll like this interview process, they truly are a nice group. Expect two interviewers, even though I only got one due to illness. Ask alot of questions of the student tour guides, because they have no input into the decision and it's worth your while to learn as much as you can. WVU is a great school and I'm sure all but the most driven, prestige oriented person would be happy there, but I doubt it is the type of school that attractsd that kind of applicant. Great place, great town.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Why the discrepancy between early science grades and the rest of your record? (They'll ask you straight up like this, be prepared!)
What was the most interesting question?
None of the questions were real brain-benders. Pretty standard stuff, no complicated ethical questions like at some of the other schools.
How did you prepare for the interview?
This website, studied up with practice questions (which in the end were unecassary, because none of them were asked).
What was the most difficult question?
The interviewers said "Let's talk turkey" and got right to the one weakest aspect of my app. While this was stressful, I appreciated that he really seemed to have studied my file beforehand. So in that sense it was a mixed bag.
What impressed you positively?
Super friendly staff and students. Really positive about the school it's programs, and the town. Very impressive.
What impressed you negatively?
The interviewer was an individual who did not seem easily impressed. Perhaps this is because he was a psychitrist! I could have told him I was an axe murderer and it wouldn't have made an impression. So I would say never read too much into an interviewers demenour, some are just like that.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I knew about the Morgantown/Charleston/Panhandle choice, but it is in no way an irrevirsible thing. I think they do it to allow all students access to the type of program (hospital or clinical or rural) that they want to learn about.
