⭐ Overall Impressions
How did the interview impress you?
No change 😐
What was the stress level of the interview?
5 out of 10
0 = Low Stress, 10 = High Stress
What are your general comments?
The day I interviewed, I was the only candidate there because a terrible snow storm had hit the day before and the school had actually closed for the day. Those conditions made it pretty stressful as I got a LOT of one-on-one time with both the dean and the interviewers. Then again, I guess that could be considered a mixed blessing...
💬 Interview Process
What is one of the specific questions they asked you?
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
How did you prepare for the interview?
skimmed over my personal statement, got in touch with a doctor who attended the school many years ago and asked her a bunch of questions
What was the most difficult question?
Tell me about yourself. (I mean, do you want a short and sweet summary, an autobiography, you want to know the names of my pets? What?? That question is so dicey.)
What impressed you positively?
The students that gave me the tour were very knowledgable and super-cool. They answered any and every question I had and seemed really happy to be at ECU. I also liked the small class size. (72)
What impressed you negatively?
The first interviewer was rather dry and I didn't feel like I had a chance to establish a repiore b/c he didn't give me a lot to go on. There was a lot of silence in-between his asking a question and then taking notes on my responses.
What did you wish you had known ahead of time?
That a large percentage of North Carolina residents are automatically granted an interview. Makes you feel real special.
