What was the most interesting question?

As we work in a hospital versus a counseling center, are you prepared to work with patients with severe injuries, burns, wounds, etc? (This question was longer but my memory is fading. It was certainly unexpected!)

Report Response | I was asked this too

I was asked what my weaknesses were 3 times in one interview! I ran out of ideas and started rambling :P

No responses

How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

No responses

How did you prepare for the interview?

Reading about the program, reading recent research by the faculty. Bring a few copies of your CV just in case! One of my interviewers asked for one.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you positively?

How friendly the faculty, staff, and students were. I had heard that the people in the program were very competitive but I did not observe this at all. The facilities were also amazing; they recently built a new building for the Health Professions students.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What impressed you negatively?

Not much :) Gainesville was small and quiet, but it was not as bad as I thought it would be. I sadly did not get to see any alligators, although they are apparently common on campus!

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

I did not know that the clinical training took place entirely in the hospital (the clinical students do not see any counseling center patients), but this is a major plus to me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

Although the interview weekend was long and tiring, I had a great time and am looking forward to hearing my admissions decision. I will definitely attend this program if given the opportunity.
