How is the responsiveness of the admissions office?

10 out of 10

How did you prepare for the interview?

1. Studentdoctor.net 2. Sat in my car and rehearse my answer. 3. Mock Interviews w/ friends. The mock interview w/ my friends were more nerve-wrecking than the real interview.

What impressed you positively?

While sitting on the lobby, sweating, shaking, waiting for my turn to be called in for an interview, several 1st year students (on their break time) just came up and start talking to us (interviewee). They explained their experiences with the interviews and told us what to expect. The atmosphere was very friendly. I talked to several students and they seems to like the school a lot.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just an interesting fact that Western can have different # of interviewer. There is no fix #. I got 4 interviewers. All have poker faces and they sat you down like how FBI would with a suspect.

What are your general comments?

Either I did really really well or really really bad on this interview because they didn't ask me a lot of question. They only asked the basic questions that I listed below. I didn't get any ethical questions or weakness, strength, how to deal with interpersonal conflict or any of that. I think I talked a lot during the interview. I basically explained everything in great details about what I did as an undergraduate, so I guess they didn't have to ask. Honestly, the interview atmosphere is not as intimidate as I had anticipated. Be prepared, though, since you need to know what you are talking about. I don't know if it really works, (I read this tips from an interview book) but you can point your toes upward when u get nervous and shaky. This will help relax your body muscle and calm you down.
