What are your general comments?
Overall, positive experience. Students were friendly, faculty and staff were friendly. PBL sounds good. The school is beautiful and sort of secluded (minus the high school next door!). There is also a YMCA next door which would be good for stress relief.
💬 Interview Process
What was the most interesting question?
What is good communication? However, after I gave my answer, the interviewer told me another good answer would be to "come prepared". Huh? The whole interview was like that. It's like they didn't know what they were asking me.
How did you prepare for the interview?
Read interview feedback, talked with family about strengths and weaknesses and learning style.
What impressed you positively?
Everyone we spoke with was very nice and enthusiastic. The library guy was a hoot.
What impressed you negatively?
It was hard to get a feel of how I did during my interview. I really have no idea what they were asking, because like I posted earlier, it seems like they forgot what they had asked me.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
I felt prepared. I don't think there's anything that was a surprise. Maybe that the school doesn't qualify for NHSC scholarships, which the financial aid guy sort of dismissed like "what would you want that for anyway?" Hello! This school emphasizes primary care! I think he was trying to discount it because students can't get it.
