What are your general comments?

"Overall, the interview process was very similar to other interviews i had (UCSD, USC). We were given a short orientation on the school followed by a written statement. Afterwards, we were given a chance to speak to current student. The order of the process will probably be different for each applicant. I had my interview last, so by that time i was very tired and felt off my game. Each question was directly out of my application statements. The questions were similar to others i had encountered, except these questions were really specific and less broad. I worked at an elderly home and one question was describe an experience with one of the patients. I honestly worked there to gain experience with patientcare, but it wasnt exactly heart-felt, so i had a hard time answering the question. From then on, i felt like my flow was off. It took me a long time to answer questions and i studdered a lot. Overall, it felt like the interviewers were out to get me. The funny thing is, out of all my interviews i thought this was by far the worst one. Im writing this almost two months later, i just found out i was accepted. I guess i was lucky." Report Response
