Members don't see this ad.

I also heard from people that there is no longer an essay portion. If you go to the St. Augustine threads, quite a few people have mentioned they no longer do essays.

hey bathers2.
Where did you here that there wasn't an essay at Austin? I have an interview there next week. I've been mentally preparing for an essay but it is nice to hear that may not be the case!

I will be there on Friday as well! I interviewed with them last year and there was no essay portion.

That was all posted like 2 years ago, I just had an interview at san marcos. There is definitely no longer an essay portion. Just the basic questions in a group interview with a faculty member. Good luck!

May I ask what questions you were asked during the interview? Which term did you apply for and how many people were there?

I am in my first trimester at St. Augustine in Austin. I would say the interview questions listed above are many of the interview questions asked. I interviewed in sept 2013, and to prepare for the interview, I looked over the questions listed above, and I was asked most of those same questions. They like to ask you a lot of experience type questions so it helps to have a lot of experience as a tech/aide or volunteer to be able to answer the questions well. There were about 58 people at the interview, and 50 of us were accepted. I am not sure if there was more than 1 interview day because they never said. It was 2 to 3 people interviewing with 2 interviewers. My interview went for about 40 minutes. I was not surprised by any of the questions asked as the questions I got were straightforward. Be prepared to answer follow up questions based on the original responses you give to a question. I will say this...not sure what the most important factor was for getting accepted, but many of the people in my class had a ton of experience as a tech or aide, and many of us did not have the best of GPA's in undergrad. For me, my GPA's were about average I would say, my GRE was only a 297, but I had over 1500 hours of tech experience, and a volunteered in multiple settings. All the hours helped me to do really well in the interview. Overall though this is a great school, I like it a lot. Good luck to everyone interviewing at Austin next week!

I was wondering how the blended program was. I have an interview and am unsure about taking it because i have seen that a lot of the classes are online for the residential?
