Has anyone applied to and got an interview with Northern Illinois University yet? I know that they do their interviews on Nov. 16. Just wondering if anyone else has gotten an interview invite.
Congrats. Are you a current NIU student?
How did they let you know? By email or mail or phone call? I'm still waiting to hear back. I'm so nervous!
Yes, snail mail was how I heard too. Hopefully you hear soon... I think NIU lets you know where you are on the waiting list if that ends up happening. Good luck!How did they let you know? By email or mail or phone call? I'm still waiting to hear back. I'm so nervous!

I did. I had been waitlisted at the other 3 schools that I interviewed at, so I was super excited to get my acceptance. Plus NIU was my first choice.Congrats to you too! And yes, I sent in my acceptance right before Christmas. Did you accept yours?

I was accepted, my stats are:Hello,
I'm applying to NIU in the upcoming cycle, and would like to know if anyone who has been accepted would like to share their stats?
Thanks in advance 🙂
No, I will not be attending NIU. I turned down the offer about a month ago when I heard back from my number one choice.Are you attending hopeful?
For those of you that went through the interview, do you remember how the interview process was?
When tou get there, the director of the program talks to you for a little bit. You then go for your interview. There will be 1st year and possible 3rd year students there to talk to you if you have questions about the program as well.
Yep! I don't think the questions were too difficult, but I think they asked what was the biggest issue in healthcare right now which might be a harder question. Mostly the questions that you would expect: why NIU? why PT? what will be the best/worst thing about being a PT? etc.Thank you Alrenee30. Do you remember if they asked very difficult questions or if it was more of a relaxing interview?

Thank you so much! 🙂 Sorry one last question, do you remember if you had to bring anything with you to the interview? and Was it one-on-one or were 2-3 people interviewing you at the same time?
Oh no problem! You don't need anything for the interview. They will likely do a two on one interview with one faculty member and one alumni.
I don't know why I forgot this but I was also asked an ethics type of questions. "If you saw someone park in a handicap spot and walk into a store and one of your friends that you are with said that if they can walk they shouldn't be parking in a handicap spot what would you say/do?"
Other students got asked what the most recent book they read was. Also I only had one interviews but at least one other student that I know of had 2.
