What are your general comments?

I don't remember the exact date because this was two years ago. It was very short and I'd come a long way for it. They also didn't give a tour.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

What makes you think you're a good fit for this program.

What was the most interesting question?

I have experience working with sexual assault survivors and I did some social justice work about sexual violence in my undergrad. They asked why I thought women who were molested or otherwise abused were more likely then the average person to be victimized (in their case re-victimized)?

How did you prepare for the interview?

I read over my personal statement and looked at the professors of interest

What was the most difficult question?

I don't really recall a difficult question

What impressed you positively?

The interviewers were very nice.

What impressed you negatively?

I have to confess when I first applied I did it strictly by region, rather than fit and research interest. I didn't research the schools in depth and I didn't know this was VERY psychoanalytic *and* non-research based. Considering I want to do research and am not psychoanalytic-ly minded, this was disappointing to discover

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

That the school was a PsyD under the guise of a PhD, read not heavy on research and heavy on producing practitioners.
