"Describe a time where you came across a situation that you didn't know what to do. P.S. ask the interviewers most of you questons, not the 2nd year students. If you already did ask the second years, ask the same questions again. My faculty member barley asked any questions and whenever there were moments of silence, I filled them up by asking her about what she teaches and where she graduated from. Talk talk talk.

What are your general comments?

"When I first read about UOP on SDN, I was so disappointed with all the negative comments. After visiting UOP, I was VERY impressed. Basically, judge the school for yourself, don't just listen to other people's reviews. By the way, the faculty member doesn't have any of your files, but the student interviewer does. They interview you seperatley. Two, 25 minute interviews." Report Response
