✅ 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?

Read up on the program, talked with current students about the interview format

What impressed you positively?

The enthusiasm of the professors, diversity of interests and opportunities

What impressed you negatively?

Lack of funding despite highly resourced school, no chance to talk individually with professors

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Hardly any funding!

What are your general comments?

Very short. 40 people competing for 4 spots. Group interviews with 6 prospective students and 2 faculty, random questions not necessarily related to psychology. Group dynamics seemed most important. Then group interviews with students, who griped about lack of funding but seemed happy otherwise. Optional tour led by student. Good food. You most likely will find out that day whether you're in or not.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?

No responses
