💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

"What else" (kept asking me to elaborate on what I was talking about.... kept me on my toes)
"Why Tulane?"
very conversational.... lots of open ended questions. The interview started with the typical, "So tell me about yourself."

What was the most interesting question?

"What classes other than science courses did you take?" I majored in non-science, so when you eliminate my major and all my science classes, there aren't many left.... I mumbled something about economics!

What impressed you positively?

I loved the energy of the student body. My student interview was really fantastic - we got so caught up in conversation, we were the last ones left in the cafeteria (student interviews are over lunch). Also, everyone really emphasized they wanted the day to be low-stress.

What impressed you negatively?

Their anatomy lab is quite old

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Only two interviews - one faculty and one student interview - ***both carry equal weight***

What are your general comments?

I am in love with Tulane... I love the city, I love the faculty, I love the students.
