Hey all,
Any advice on this issue? I'm in CA and applying to schools that are all around 2000 miles away. Usually interview time is March when I'll be preparing for finals (I'm on quarter system). Also I'm broke and can't afford to fly out to these places. My boss (who graduated from a clinical program) said the interviews are crucial and that some profs won't even accept someone they don't meet personally. He said he went to his top choices and did phone interviews for the rest. This of course was probably around 8 years ago...have things changed and now phone interviews are much more acceptable?
I don't want to waste time applying to a school that won't even consider phone interviewees.
Thanks!
