What are your general comments?

"Here is what to expect: (1) a student interview, with 2 students and yourself. (2) A faculty interview. Not sure if it was open file because no specific questions were asked. (3) A group interview. Group interview consisted of three students and held with 6-8 other candidates. Ethical questions asked and we were asked to respond. The whole interview does indeed go for 4 hours. Then Essay where we were required to respond to reading, and then write our opinion. Afterwards, student panel held where we were free to ask questions. No surprises and just a mix of feelings afterwards since I do not have a ton of experience in group interviews. Tips: practice through friends and speaking, SDN, and eat a bit. day goes by quickly and you are given a schedule of where to go. hope this helps!" Report Response
