Oh awesome, congrats!
We did a group interview - I was with two other candidates. They had 6 questions and each person had to answer it, and were staggered so each person had to answer first, then second, then third. Take your time when you answer, and feel free to ask them to repeat the question, they will not mind. It is nerve-wracking being first but I think third was worst! If you are third, try to not repeat what the other two candidates just said (one guy did that)- to me, it made the candidate sound unoriginal and flat. Try to immediately think of your own unique answer so you aren't tempted to dovetail on the first two candidates. We also had to work together to answer a question. I am not certain what they were looking for, but I think it was to see how you worked together with the other two, in terms of both taking charge yet also working as a team.
An EASY question they asked that for some reason threw me off was "why should YOU be accepted?". I don't know why but I froze! So be ready to talk about how awesome and unique you are
I definitely think being confident and being yourself and NOT a robot is the best thing to do. They want to know you are bright, articulate, passionate, and they want to see your personality! The faculty is very nice and are real people, if that makes sense - be confident and be yourself and GOOD LUCK! DPT doesn't have classes on Friday so unless we are there studying (which is likely) you won't see any of us but I will be thinking of you and sending good vibes! I know how nerve-wracking it is!
And to answer your question, how is it going - welllllll it is a TON of work and absolute culture shock for all of us. We are 25 days from the semester ending (not that we are counting) and finally feeling like maybe we can do this whole doctor PT school thing (as we call it)!
I hope this helps!
