What are your general comments?
We were told at orientation that we (applicants) obviously have great credentials (or we wouldn't be interviewing), so the interview is really to assess how our personalities "fit" the school. I suppose this is pretty normal for interviews, but they aren't kidding around about that. However, the lack of intensity and difficult questions makes judging my performance difficult- I keep wondering did I get my key points across?
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
How did you prepare for the interview?
I rehearsed common interview questions and read up about the school on the WUSTL website and SDN forum
What was the most difficult question?
How do you think your experience with baking will help you in your future career?
What impressed you positively?
The students are all very bright and interesting, really fun to be around. There seem to be a lot of resources available for students, specifically, money, for students interested in pursuing research, community, or student life activities. Students come from schools all over the country. It seems like students are picked on numbers and personality with less emphasis on undergraduate institution.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The interviews are extremely relaxed. Seriously- my interviewer and I talked about how great dogs are for 15-20 minutes.
