💬 Interview Questions

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Faculty interviewer was curious about why I chose to major in Economics rather than a specific science. We talked about my educational background and the program I have been a part of since graduation.
First "interview" with assistant dean was a group interview. It was casual introductions/stories about each applicant. Then we went into a sample PBL activity. It was very relaxed and quite interesting.
Student interviewer conversation was very casual. We spoke again about the program that I have been a part of. We talked about healthcare policy in the country and specifically in CT. Student was very helpful with questions about school culture and climate.

Tuition, atmosphere, facilities.

What impressed you negatively?

No responses

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Just how relaxed the interviews are.

What are your general comments?

The interview day is such a low stress activity that it is difficult to self-assess how the day went. I did not have to &quot;conquer&quot; a tough question or admit that I was clueless. Hence when the day ended I had no concrete idea of how I may stand in the minds of the interviewers.

What are your suggestions for the admissions office?
