What are your general comments?
I thought it was a very pleasant interview. I waited almost 15 minutes outside my interviewers door because he was just wrapping up the interview with the person before me. The tour was nice too - wear comfortable shoes cause its quite hilly.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
The New Orleans question (above)
What was the most interesting question?
With what happen in New Orleans I'm sure you wouldnt want to be in the midst of such devastation(Not the exact words but thats what it came down to)
I took it as some sort of trap question.
How did you prepare for the interview?
SDN/webpages on healthcare/learning from prior interviews
What impressed you positively?
Richmond was better than I was led to believe. The school is located right in the heart if down town. I liked that the school of nursing, dentistry, pharmacy and applied health are all in the same vicinity. That way you can mingle with other students instead of your classmates - especially if you single like me.
