💬 Interview Questions ▼

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

How do we know you can handle the science courses science you have only taken the required courses ask 3 times and every time I added more to it but it didnÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢t seem good enough for them. (I said everything from I got AÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â€šÂ¬Ã¢â€žÂ¢s in almost every science class, I got over 90th percentile on the DAT for my science average, nothing over a 20, nothing I said was good enough for them) You say you like science so why have you only taken the required courses

What are your general comments?

There were 2 people who interviewed(male and female) me very old and you cant talk to them because they wont talk to you not personable. Would write down every single word that would come out of my mouth both of them. Would not smile or interact with me. Would interrupt me so I would slow down so they can write down word for word what i would say, i thought they should have given me the form with the questions so i would have filled it out myself.
