⭐ Overall Impressions

How did the interview impress you?

Negatively ☹️

What was the stress level of the interview?

3 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress

What are your general comments?

I was very excited about this school. But the interview day was aweful...18 interviewees, deserted campus, you couldn't hear the student tour guide, and the school really doesn't do much to impress the interviewees. Oh, and I found their lack of forsight that they would need vegetarian options at lunch to be indicative of their administrative quality.
💬 Interview Process

What is one of the specific questions they asked you?

Why DO.

What was the most interesting question?

Ethics Question: Your patient, 100% cognitive, tells you he wants to commit suicide because the cancer meds make him a zombie and completely out of it. Aside from any legal obligations, how would you handle the situtation?

How did you prepare for the interview?

SDN, Gevitz's "DO's", School's Career Center, Mock interviews, AZCOM website

What was the most difficult question?

See most interesting question. The key to this question isn't what you would do, per se, but what questions would you ask and what resources would you use?

What impressed you positively?

The weather. Yes, it is hot. It was 98 degrees when I was there...yet, it felt like a typical 80 degree day in the south.

What impressed you negatively?

There were no students around. We made a game to see who could find a student.

What did you wish you had known ahead of time?

If the interview day schedule looks very unimpressive to you, then chances are you won't like the school.
