💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Explain a social problem you are interested in? Side note: I am a sociology major. But this was asked of other interviewers. (We spoke about social problems, and the interviewer insisted that Gender Inequality was not a social problem. And basically that the study of sociology was void. It was less of an interview, and more of a confrontation.)

What impressed you negatively?

My first interview did not interview me as much as confront me.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

The fact that the first interview matters more than the second. During my second he informed me that he did not want to know any of the same material I had spoken about. During the second interview we spoke more about me as a person, and less about what I had done in college.

Report Response | I was asked this too

What are your general comments?

I thought I rocked my second interview considering how combative the first one had gone. I ended up being mid waitlisted. fyi- apparently they used a 1-5 rating system and average the scores of the two interviewers 1- accept 2- high waitlist 3- mid waitlist 4- low waitlist 5- reject
