What impressed you negatively?

"The group interview felt awkward and unnatural. I don't think anyone really came across great in that format. There were 28 people interviewed for 4 spots, and we were divided into groups of 7. Seemed like everyone was trying to quickly throw in their two cents before running out of time..." More from this Member | Report Response

"The department facilities were terrible, one professor was exceptionally rude, the school invited 40 people to interview for only 4 spots." More from this Member | Report Response

"Lack of funding despite highly resourced school, no chance to talk individually with professors" More from this Member | Report Response

What are your general comments?

"Awful, I felt like I was incredibly disrespected as an applicant." More from this Member | Report Response

"Very short. 40 people competing for 4 spots. Group interviews with 6 prospective students and 2 faculty, random questions not necessarily related to psychology. Group dynamics seemed most important. Then group interviews with students, who griped about lack of funding but seemed happy otherwise. Optional tour led by student. Good food. You most likely will find out that day whether you're in or not. " More from this Member | Report Response
