Congrats guy. Now just keep it 'cool', while you take this yr to mentally prepare. Best wishes.
. So it was really one on one right from beginning. We had a description of scholl's history. then we went for interview. The interview was very easy i guess. basically the questions were general. why do u wanna be a podiatrist, what makes u think u will suceed, and what courses r u taking this sem. We had a general discussion abt scholl for another 10 min. the whole interview was not more than 25 min. Then we went for a campus tour for an hour. i must say they have very beautiful and scenic facilities. and their anatomy lab rocks. we were later joined by current students who took us for lunch and by the time we came after lunch we met with the admissions counsellor again seperately and she said us whether we were accepted or not. The lady in admissions gave me the cold shoulder and told me to be patient because she was too busy?! Oh well, things should be alright I guess. I also have interviews scheduled with OCPM, Scholl, CSPM, and New York, but I am hoping to get into either Des Moines, Temple or Arizona.
Thanks bro. i owe u a lot.!
well, the group was small
As for interview questions, they are very simple. they do ask abt Grades, withdrawals,etc.
Congrats
You will be even more impressed when you actually start at Scholl next Aug. Their program is very organized and keeps the students schedules in mind when assigning clinicals and lecture tests. For example, last week friday we had our first big test in clinical anatomy, and they scheduled our classes so we wouldn't have anatomy that week and could get done by noon each day, except for a scheduled clinical (patient history taking) one day.
Also, the professors are absolutely awesome. They will spend as much time as needed to teach students. Most of my professors have been there for over 20 years and are "die hard" dedicated to the students education. Many classes will be taught by 2 or more different professors which are better at teaching the specific lecture topic. You will get transponders that you answer a given question to see how much of the class is understanding and keeping up on the material. As far as education rigor, I believe Scholl is very challenging, however you learn more than you ever imagined instead of strugling. RFU has hired some really good people to analyze student study pattens and teach you study skills which is pounded into you during orientation.
I am sure you will be just as pleased as I am with the school.
Congrats on the acceptance and scholarship.
The ladies in admissions are incredibly nice... sorry your experience with them wasn't optimal. They really are very busy right now. They have 14 weeks straight of interviews coming up for close to 10 professional programs... several of which will have hundreds of people interviewing. Just be patient and be nice to THEM... they tend to put in a good word for students who are exceptionally nice.That is awesome that you have been accepted already! I am interviewing at Temple on the 2nd of October and at Des Moines on the 6th. Arizona is giving me a run around saying that they have not received my application eventhough every other school that I applied to received them.
