How many students are there usually in a group??

Are students asked the same question(s)?

Also, i have looked on the interview feedback, sometimes it says that the school does group interviews and sometimes it's just one-on-one. Does anyone know how they determine that or is it just whatever happens that day?

Group interviews means that there are multiple faculty interviewing you at once, not that there are multiple students being questioned at once. (i.e. you'll be in front of a panel of faculty) The number of faculty interviewing you will be determined by the school's preference. Sorry if I misunderstood.

This is true. TUCOM-MI has multiple faculty/staff and multiple students in an interview.

the interview has 4 or 5 students, and i think 4 intreviewers. each person is asked different questions.
