"What are your specific research interests and how do they fit with our current work?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"If I gave you a blank check right now and no stipulations whatsoever, what kind of research would you do using the money?" Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Really I can't remember too many specific questions. Just went over my background, what interests me, what I envision doing in the future. BE PREPARED TO ASK QUESTIONS!!! They're main goal was to really see what YOU ask them." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"To explain my family dynamics and give background in how I grew up, what my parents do, etc." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"The dreaded "so tell me about yourself" (why is this so hard?!?!)... but I expected it so it wasn't bad. Basically none of the questions were hard... just really trying to see if you were a good fit (this program is small and seemingly very bonded, fit was a MAJOR priority)." Report Response | I was asked this question too
"Read over POI's research and previous work. Found out the direction that each of their labs were headed in the coming years. Went over questions to ask that weren't answered online or during the orientation presentation earlier in the morning. " Report Response
"Surprisingly a lot. It was apparent how tight-knit the entire team was (professors and students). The current students genuinely loved the program and spoke highly of it. Also, they are a TRUE blend of research and practice that firmly believes in finishing the program in 5 years flat. The program also teaches a great breadth of information - to include all assessments (including Rorschach), across all populations (incarcerated, adult, juvenile, etc), and experience in various settings (clinical, school, correctional, etc). To top it off, you only take 3 additional classes and you will get licensed in school psychology (which you can't beat in this hard economic time)." Report Response
"The lack of funding. They do give you a full tuition waiver, but the stipend is around 1/3 of other competitive programs. Many students said that the cost was minimal in exchange for the superior teaching they received (i.e. when they went for internship interviews they commented on how OVER qualified they were in comparison to the competition). " Report Response
"The low stipend amount." Report Response
"You had a "social" the night before at a current students home - VERY beneficial to go! On the day of the interview, you had an opening presentation and then met with 2 POIs (that you mentioned in your statement) and 2 of their current students from their lab staggered through the day. When you weren't in interviews, you all sat in one room pretty much chit-chatting with the other nervous interviewees. You also had lunch provided in a group and with a professor that wasn't in your interest section (just to cross check). I have to say that after visiting the program, it moved significantly higher on my "I-REALLY-Want-to-Get-In" list!" Report Response
