Hey congrats on the interviews! How long did it take Chatham to get back to you about an interview?
 
I applied ED to Wash U, just got accepted today! Had a long phone conversation with the department chair, everyone who applied ED should receive an official email by tomorrow, and everyone who applies RD usually hear back within a day or two of their review date. Message me if you are admitted and accept a spot, I'd love to meet some classmates!

Hi! I interviewed at Jefferson for their early decision on September 19th. Here’s the run down:
First they went through the agenda for the day (the interview was 4hrs 30mins long). They also broke us into groups of four, four people per group. Groups 1 and 2 were first to be interviewed (I was group 1) while group 3 and 4 sat in on a class. During the interview, they asked us to simply introduce ourselves and then they went straight into behavioral questions only. I can remember four out of seven:
Name a time you faced a challenge and how you overcame it.
Tell us about a time someone gave you feedback and you didn’t like it.
Tell us about a time you had to adapt.
Tell us about a time you had conflict in a group and how you resolved it.

I also want to mention that the order that people were picked to answer questions was random. Expect to be asked to answer a question first at least one time. If you’re not asked to answer first, take that time to gather what you want to say.

After the interview, my group sat in on a class and then they gave us all a tour of the campus for about an hour. We came back and we were able to ask questions. Make sure to bring a snack and water because it’s lengthy. Overall, it was great. I definitely took advantage of asking current students questions when we observed the classroom. Also, come in with a few questions in mind you genuinely want an answer to, general or specific. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask! 🙂

I interviewed this afternoon and the day ran the same as what was mentioned above. Everyone, from the faculty to the students, were so friendly. I enjoyed the day. My group interviewed first and I only remember a few of the questions:

-What is one advantage/benefit of inter-professional collaboration and one disadvantage/challenge?
-Tell us about a time you were stressed and how you handled it?
-Tell us about a time you received feedback and didn’t like it.

We were all asked the same questions and allowed to do so in any order. There was a question at the end that pertained to us individually based on our application. It was nice having time to think while other applicants answered. We also utilized one another and bounced our answers off of each other, while still giving unique answers. I personally thought the day was pretty relaxed and we were done early. Definitely just be yourself, come with questions, relax and enjoy the day!
 
Does anyone know the usual way a school requests an interview from you? Do they email you with an invitation, call, etc???
 
Early Decision: Yes - St. Augustine - Austin, TX
Regular Decision: None

#1 choice: USA - Austin


Accepted: USA - Austin!
Interview granted: USA - Austin
Waitlisted: None
Denied: None

Attending: You get my drift...

This was my third time applying and my GPA/GRE were low (2.98/140's)! But I did the one thing that many applicants tend to over look - apply to the right school for me! I've been looking at this forum for years and applicants are still worried about school ranks and looking for validation of whether they'll get accepted with a 3.999 GPA and 169 GRE scores. None of that matters. Figure out what your goals are and decide what schools are your best options. Period. My goal is to get in and get out of school so I can live my life already. Every school that is accredited should prepare you for boards. Do what you gotta do and you'll do well. No one will ever care what school you went to. So apply smart and you'll get in... Even with mediocre grades.

All of my invitations have been via email with an invitation to come for an interview. I'm not sure if other programs do something else, but I believe most do emails.

Would you mind PMing me some ideas that you wrote for their statement of purpose? Did you just answer why you wanted to do PT and why St. Augustine? And congrats btw! I have similar stats as you.
