💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

My interviewer asked if I'm the only daughter in my family and since I am he wanted to know how my parents felt about my coming to Puerto Rico and why I applied to Ponce.
What are 3 current medical/health issues that are going to become more important?
What do you think about the bombings in Madrid (I had studied abroad there) which led to how I felt after Sept. 11 and then how I felt about the war in Iraq. That then led into how I make difficult decisions.

What was the most interesting question?

What's your favorite class this semester, and why? Oh, and both my interviewers asked how I had done in my Calculus classes but didn't ask about any other grades in other classes.

What was the most difficult question?

How I felt about the fact that I'm going to be studying non-stop for the next 4 years and then completely in debt after that.

How did you prepare for the interview?

I stayed with a couple first year students and they gave me a mock interview in Spanish.

What impressed you positively?

It's very laid back. The professors and students are very friendly. It's a great atmosphere.

What impressed you negatively?

Both my interviews were done in Spanish (I'm not Hispanic) but I had been expecting one in English. Other students got 2 English interviews.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

There is a possibility of getting a group interview where it's a professor, a staff member and 3-4 interviewees.

What are your general comments?

I had a really good time at Ponce. Everyone is very nice and helpful. My first interview was a little more stressful since it lasted about an hour and he asked me absolutely everything down to what was covered in the Physiology course I had taken. The second interview wasn't stressful at all.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
