What are your general comments?
I know it is hard, especially if it is your first interview, but try your best to be RELAXED as possible. Also, it is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to know your responses ahead of time, and speak fluently and firmly. DO NOT make up answers or lie, the interviewer will know right away and the interview will go badly.
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
If you are not accepted this year, what would be your plans for next year? (this question scared me because it was the last one asked, giving me the initial impression that they did not like me, but this is NOT the case! Answer positively and stay confident!)
What was the most interesting question?
This program is heavy on group work and team work, and you will be working with other students from other colleges frequently. What would you do if one member of the group kept giving you a hard time and would not cooperate, knowing that you could NOT change groups under any circumstances for the entire academic year?
How did you prepare for the interview?
Research the program, what makes that school unique, why it is your top choice. Do not go overboard. Just know the program very well.
Prepare sample questions for yourself (you know the most important ones) and develop your general responses to them. Know your own history and academic records very well, and speak the truth. It is also VERY IMPORTANT to have some questions that YOU can ask the interviewer yourself once the interview is over, this leaves a good impression and shows confidence!

What impressed you positively?
The organization that was done for the interviewees, the presentation and other things were fantastic. Also, all of the interviewers and staff were extremely polite and positive, and helped to relieve stress.
What impressed you negatively?
The sheer amount of PEOPLE that were there! It was very intimidating at first. The critical thinking exam was probably my least favorite part of the interview process as well. The essay portion was not bad at all.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That it would be a group interview with one professor and one P2 student
