What are your general comments?

"Overall, the interview experience was good. The essay portion wasn't too bad because you get to choose what you want to write on among the 3 questions they give you. The interview was a bit more intimidating. My student interviewer was very nice but my faculty interviewer had on a stern face most of the time. They first started off asking me personal questions. Then the student interviewer switched it over to situational questions. I hear though that not all interviewers ask situational questions. It really depends on who you get. Some are really friendly, some not so much. Some ask very personal questions, others ask questions that are science related, some ask a lot of situational or hypothetical questions. Just make sure you are knowledgeable but don't overlook the easy questions! The whole experience wasn't too bad. Just the waiting part sucks!" Report Response
