⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
Positively 🙂

2 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The overall experience was great. All the interviewees meet in a conference and introduce themselves to Dr. Kennedy, followed by two small lectures from other faculty about the curriculum, ending with a financial aide lecture. Next, the three interviews (two 30 min. blind, and the exit interview, open-file ~10 min.) take place over a 2 hr. period followed by an hour tour of the school, given by multiple students. The interviewers were some of the best self-esteem boosters I have ever met. Don't sweat these interviews. Best advice is to relax and be yourself, oh yeah, and read the rest of the questions people posted.
💬 Interview Process
How did you prepare for the interview?
Used this website, a book, and family and friends for questions and practice (a definite overkill for these interviews)
What was the most difficult question?
Do you have anything else to add? (at the end of the interview)
What impressed you positively?
The kindness and sincerety of the faculty and staff.
What impressed you negatively?
Parking is a problem and some of the facilities are old looking (what do you expect from the 70s).
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
The "exit interview" is a great chance to express your desires to go to Shreveport.
