How did you prepare for the interview?
I googled ''behavioral interview'' for days and tried to come up with answers as I found questions. I also talked to my cousin, a first year, about her interview. I only had about a week to practice with some friends that had already interviewed (I was alternate and didn't get my call until five days before the interview!).
What impressed you positively?
Everybody was super enthusiastic about being there. I felt like they genuinely cared about interviewing us. I also liked how my interviewers offered to help me get in contact with some Army vets when I mentioned that I was thinking of joining the vet corp.
What impressed you negatively?
The tour wasn't very organized and the student leading the tour didn't seem to know much about the areas that he was showing us.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That I didn't remember all of my experiences! I recommend writing down your answers when you practice so that you can review them the morning of your interview.
What are your general comments?
Fantastic! 12 of us started off in a small conference room where we got to socialize and Dean Thompson explain the procedure to us. Then, our student interviewers came to escort us to our interview rooms. My interviewers were really nice and easy to talk to. After the interview was done, the student took us to a post-interview room where Dean Thompson told us what to expect in the next week. Then we went on a tour of the school. Overall, it was a great experience and I wasn't the least bit nervous!
