Does anybody know if Nebraska's interviews are group interviews? Under "interview feedback" some say "in a group" and others say "one-on-one"...so I'm a little confused. Also, would "in a group" imply multiple interviewers or interviewees? I just don't see how or why a school would want to interview multiple students at once...

If anyone interviewed or will be interviewing at Nebraska, your feedback is appreciated. 🙂
 
I think it is with multiple interviewers, but I will find out this upcoming Monday.

Can you please post once you get back from your interview? I really want to know because group interviews sound so scary (whether it is interviewers OR interviewees)...so I will need to be EXTRA prepared if this is the case.

Thanks a million!😀

Yeah, just PM me because I will get pretty busy when I get back.
I'm a little nervous as well since it sounds like there will be multiple people in the room and it is my first interview. Hey are you in state or OOS?

I'm OOS and it will be my first interview as well....in a couple weeks so I'm pretty nervous.
 
hey fellow nebraska applicants. Does Nebraska send you an email etc about your application being complete? I got the snail mail with the information packet and request for app fee.

How soon after you submit that (and they have my DAT scores and AADSAS etc) do they let you know about an interview?

8/11 esubmitted, 8/26 offical DAT scores sent, 8/25 sent the app fee to lincoln
 
Please post your interview experiences on here whenever you get done, it would be great for us who have yet to interview there.

BTW, whats in that information packet?

or I could experiences personal......:meanie:.



jk, I'll let you know or like I said above PM so I remember.
 
That's what I was thinking, maybe he won't tell me (or will make something up) because he doesn't want me to get in :laugh:. I'll try to remember to sometime next week.
 
don't you have an Iowa interview as well?

I want you to get in ..... as long as I'm in. 😉 Interview is on Monday and I probably will remember to give you guys a heads-up.
Although is weird that no one has posted anything new in the interview feedback for the last 3 years.
 
Oh.... they videotape you during the interview.
Late September.

Ahhhh I gotcha :laugh:

videotape though??? I thought it was just an audio recorder.

mines oct. 5


Also, what dates did Nebraska say they had available (if you happen to remember any of them). I have to call them on Monday because I just received the stuff in the mail today.

I read some old feedback on an interview and he/she said it was video and quite an uncomfortable experience. Not exactly sure how it is this year though....
 
So why did you apply to Iowa... I'm applied and now since I have an interview I'm trying to think of some things. 😳

oh forgot to answer the last question. I think anytime next week.... the nice lady there said they like to get them done quickly.

Wow that would be awesome if I could schedule it on Friday next week, hopefully that will be open when I call them on Monday.

Why Iowa?
- not too far away from home
- heard good things about it on here
- not a big city type of place

Those are my real reasons for applying there. I don't think they're looking for anything too crazy. I doubt any reasons you have for going there would be looked upon unfavorably. Unless you say something involving the phrase "hot chicks" or "getting hammered," I think you'll be in the clear so just be honest.

While interviewing last fall, a group of students were given a presentation, tour of the school, and lunch as a group, but the interviews were done individually with 3 interviewers. That is, one interviewee with three interviewers.

good stuff, thanks for the info
 
Here is some feedback. Get there, presentation, tour, interviews (2 interviewers with each applicant), and lunch with D2s.
Interview was laid back with standard questions such as tell me more about yourself, how did you study for the DAT, talked about a previous job and area where I live, what schools applied to, what is the top choice.
They know your file well and thats where they get some of their questions from also.

Great, thanks for the info.

I just scheduled my interview for mid-september. It'll probably be my first one so that's good that it's laid back.

And by the way, do they give you all the financial information right there?

I see different tuition and fees in every resource I look at for all the schools I've applied to, and I want to have something in writing so I know exactly how much it will cost when I leave there. I was just curious if they give this to you while you are there or if you have to ask for specifics.

Thanks
