Hi everyone! Has anyone been accepted from the wait list, or have an idea how many people are usually accepted off the list each year? Thank you!
 
Hey, I am assuming you had an interview with RU Newark? I was wondering if you could tell me about the interview process, and what exactly to expect?
 
Hey! Yes I interviewed at the north campus. The interview is pretty laid back; there is a tour from a current student, and then your individual interview, though not necessarily in that order. Almost everyone I know who interviewed there had a conversational interview, so it might be good to research the faculty. I personsonally did not have a conversational interview; it was straight from a list of questions. 2 questions that threw me off were: what would page __ of your autobiography say? If you could learn any skill from a different culture what would it be? The biggest piece of advice I can give is to be yourself and stay true to who you are🙂 when is your interview? I will be at a few🙂

Thank you! So basically, the interview should conversational like you said right? So questions like tell me about yourself, what is your biggest strength/weakness, why are you a good fit for this school etc. should be expected as well?
 
Many people had conversational interviews, but mine wasn't at all; it was straight from a list of questions. Those are all good questions to practice for interviews as well as why PT over a different health profession. Bringing your unique experiences into the interview questions is what will set you apart. Stay true to yourself and you'll be just fine🙂
 
Received the schedule of interviews from RU North with the next one being 11/20 and 12/11. Has anyone been contacted for those two dates?

So it's been a while but do you have any idea of how many people are on the waitlist and how good your chances would be if you were in the top third?
