💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

After post-Katrina, there were several policemen who found their families were in danger and needed immediate help. However, they have a duty to serve and protect the community. If you were in such a situation, what or whom would you put first, your duty or your family?
Tell me about your service experiences.
Tell me something that's not anywhere in your file.

What was the most interesting question?

The riddle, although I already knew the answer, so I admitted I knew the answer...he was impressed with my honesty and said some students have just sat there and pretended to not know and then said the answer.

What was the most difficult question?

A mother comes in with a three year old child and it turns out the child has meningitis. There is a typical protocol one follows to treat it, but it is suspected the current protocol doesn't work, for the child becomes mentally retarded as the disease progresses. At a meeting three months ago in the Carribean, you are introduced to a new, FDA approved drug, which is thought to work for meningitis. After asking the mother which drug she wants, she tells you its your decision. Which drug do you use and why?

What impressed you negatively?

North Chicago. The student that came in in the morning in between our interviews and preached about the competitive and almost cut-throat atmosphere

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

They don't give you breakfast...not even coffee.

What are your general comments?

Short day; we were done at 1:15 which was nice b/c it was before the afternoon rush-hour began. The morning was very unstructured. We were interviewed at random and a couple interviewees were done with both of their interviews when I had just gotten back from my first. Other than that, the day went well.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
