I interviewed at Brenau last year. The process is as follows:
1)Interview with 2 Brenau prof and 2-4 other students (group interview). Interview questions are what you would expect them to be ranging from "Why OT?" to conflict resolution when working in a group to were involved in any research in undergrad... they will vary but nothing is out of the ordinary.
2) Essay over an OT related topic (it sounds intimidating but you read a short quote and respond in about 1-2 paragraphs, i think they give you 30 mins i don't remember)
3) Informal Q&A with current students in the program

Thank you!! This really helps! Did you find the group interview to be easier than an one on one or more difficult?

I didn't get to experience a one-on-one school interview but I will say in a way it was more comforting assuming everyone else was also nervous, plus hearing them respond sometimes helped me remember something I wanted to say, although sometimes what they said was also what I was planning on responding but for the most part I would say I enjoyed it versus interviewing alone.

Hi! I sent in my app about two weeks after you did, I was just wondering if you've heard back from them about an interview yet?

Unfortunately not yet, but I wouldn't be too worried because school have been closed for the holidays and I'm sure they won't get back to us later on. If you dson't mind please keep me posted on if you hear anything back.
