The interview was super relaxed! There’s an individual portion with a faculty member and past student that is more like a conversation and then a group interview with a panel of PTs, professors, students, and other professionals in the area
it only took about an hour for the whole thing
What kind of questions do they ask? How should I best prepare myself?The interview was super relaxed!

I received my interview invite last Tuesday (12/3) and heard of a few people on here who also heard that day. I know the RSVP deadline is Friday 12/13, so hopefully you should hear back sometime soon!
Mostly why you would choose Emory and Henry and why you’re choosing PT. Then the group panel was a mix of those questions, ethical questions and experience questions!
I’ll be at both the dinner and interview! As far as weather goes, I live in upstate S.C. and it’s been in the 30s-40s here, but next week it’s the high 60s. My weather app shows it being pretty similar in Marion as it’s only about 180mi from me!
No they did not. Have you contacted Tracie for any updates? As far as I am aware, this is the last of the interviews
Me. I’m also 8 AM
I’m not really understanding what you’re asking, I think they’re only offering interviews on the 11th
I mean it doesn’t hurt to ask but I doubt they’ll let you do another day since there’s a group componentAs in coming in another day for an interview. I have a major conflict on that day and there’s no way I can make it
I was looking at some old threads and people said each interview (the solo and group) lasted about 30 minutes so around 1 hour total
I think it will really just depend on how long it takes everyone to answer all of the questions. Some people take longer than others
Aw! Why do you feel it didn’t go well? I thought it was okay. Not anything super left field but idkFinished my interview around 9 and I don’t think it went well at all
They just didn’t really ask any of the questions I had prepped answers for so I was scrambling, and I was also super nervous :/ plus I just got a weird vibe from my individual interviewers, like they didn’t really want to be there/like they didn’t want to be interviewing me
I don’t think you have anything to worry about. I was the girl from San Diego and if you were in the group panel first, the two girls who answered the questions answered well. I briefly spoke with Tracie and she said everyone in the group panel from the 8am slot got high marks. I agree the questions were definitely left field. I wasn’t expecting it but I’m certain you did well.Finished my interview around 9 and I don’t think it went well at all
I had the individual interview first, then the group after. But thank you and best of luck to you!
It was good. Very relaxed. You don’t have to worry. The group part asked three questions: 1) what would you do if someone cheated; 2) what was the most challenged thing that has happened to you and I don’t remember the third
Should I look the supplemental questions from my application?
No. They literally just had a sheet of paper they were reading questions off of, I think everyone had the same ones. “Tell us about yourself” “why do you want to be a PT” “why e&h” “identify a time you struggled and how you overcame it” “when’s a time you had to show leadership at school or work”
I haven’t gotten that email
I don’t know what you use for email but for some reason my gmail put it in the “promotions” folder instead of the regular inbox. I got it around 9:55 this morningI haven’t gotten that email
Do you mind sharing your stats?
They’re definitely less than stellar but
Those are not terrible! You definitely have some bright spots especially with your observation hours. I also completed an interview on the 11th and am waiting to hear back. Fingers crossed for the both of us!
lmao I was literally thinking the exact same thing! I’m literally checking my email every 10 minutes :’)Hoping they release acceptances soon so I can drop the chemistry class I’m retaking lol
Me too! waiting is soo hard, I just want to know!!
Honestly it was basically just all of the information on their website. They also touched on how integrated the community is into the program and how there’s an “adopt a parent” program where if you join a family will basically act as parents and invite you over for dinners, holidays, etc. They also touched on how the first year you take your anatomy classes with the OT students.
Thank you! I hope you hear back soon
I was so relaxed after the interview but I’m starting to get nervous now
