Seems like a bunch of us have interviews lined up. What are some questions you've been told pop up at DPT interviews?

Of course there are the common ones:
Why PT?
Why PT versus a different healthcare career?
Your strengths/weaknesses?
Where would you like to be in five years?
Why this school?

Lets get our minds warmed up for these interviews!

Tell me about a time you were stressed and how did you handle it?
What are 3 things you have done in the past 2 years you think will make you a better student/PT?
Tell me about a time you had to perform job duties outside of your required scope?
Tell me about a time you had to handle a confrontation at work, what did you do?
Tell me about a time you felt you could not accomplish a task?
If you have multiple events/assignments due during the same week how would you handle it?

I recommend not being a robot when answering questions, don't sound like you are reading off a sheet of paper. Be yourself, the programs faculty will know if you are a good fit for their program or not.

Good luck all!
