Hey,

I am interviewing with Kentucky, Midwestern IL, Indiana, Missouri St. Louis and Nova in the next couple weeks and I was wondering if anyone who interviewed/got accepted by any of those programs have any advice or insight on the interview questions or process overall.

They are all conducted via Zoom but I am assuming the format will be similar.

Thanks in advance 🙂

What were your interviews like at Kentucky, UMSL, and Indiana? Looking for some insight before I interview with them! Thanks!

Kentucky was a 1:2 setup with 2 faculty members in an open-file interview. It lasted about an hour.
UMSL was a day-long interview. Started out with introductions, presentations followed by a 1:2 open-file interview with faculty. UMSL sends decisions the same day so keep an eye out!
Indiana was just presentations and getting to know fellow applicants and faculty. No formal interview.
