💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Tell us something that you've been doing since you submitted your secondary application.
The ethical question
They asked a lot of questions about the grad program I've been doing.

What was the most interesting question?

What change happened in my life that I did so much better in grad school than undergrad? What was funny about this was that they asked the same question when I interviewed at LECOM. They looked at me funny when I laughed at the question, then I had to explain why I was laughing.

What was the most difficult question?

They asked an ethical question. They short version of the question is: you're short on supplies and you need to choose between a junkie and a pillar of society which will get to use your one and only resparator?

✅ Interview Preparation and Impressions

How is the friendliness of the admissions office?

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

SNMA mock interview, I had taken a two hour prep-course

What impressed you positively?

The friendliness of the students and the friendliness toward my husband. It was a beautiful day the day I interviewed. The hospital in town is freaking amazing! It looked like some imperial station in Star Wars or something

What impressed you negatively?

The people in the town are REALLY slow. I think we sat in the drive through at the McD's for a half hour (fast food my a$$). The campus is on the side of a mountain. The school colors are orange and black. As a Steelers fan I don't know if I can go to a school with Bengal's colors.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

ummm....They hadn't received my recent letters of recommendation, they had been using my letters from when I applied 2 years ago. Meanwhile, I had asked admissions there to tell me what letters they had received twice a few weeks before my interview.

What are your general comments?

Very pleasant. Pikeville is not a town for everyone. I asked a few students what they don't like about the school and over and over the response had something to do with the town, not the school.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
