💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Honestly.. you'll feel like you give the same response a lot... their questions are all geared towards whether or not you'll fit with PBL. Look around at other people's comments .. write down a few of the questions.. and you'll be able to nail the interview questions. The interviewers basically go through a sheet one question at a time.. very generic. Also.. interviewers can choose to do closed or open file.. mine was closed but yours could be either.

What impressed you positively?

Brand new facility, Problem-Based Learning Curriculum, they also supposedly had the highest scores on the board exams

What impressed you negatively?

Problem-Based Learning seems like a great way to go ... but I think students and staff must get paid each time they bring it up. By the end of the day you'll be pretty sick of hearing about it. They need to focus more on the other aspects of the curriculum instead of just focusing on PBL.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Uh... nothin?
