How did you prepare for the interview?

No responses

What impressed you positively?

Dr. Carter. And the program seemed clinically strong. Various therapeutic perspectives. You begin seeing clients first year. Some of the cohort seemed close.

What impressed you negatively?

Their disorganization. I was not scheduled to interview with one POI, while the other mentor I interviewed with had no idea I wanted to work with him. After hearing I did, he didn't even acknowledge it. He just made a face and never asked a pertinent follow-up question, like "Why?" or "Well, what are your research interests?" Overall, I felt deceived and injured by their invitation to interview, when clearly no one there had any interest in me as a candidate. I hope others have a different experience, and that admissions becomes more mindful in the future.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

Not to bother
