can anyone give me advice on good questions to ask? I don't want to have nothing to ask when it's my turn.
Also, I have my first interview next week. Any tips on what I should look over and what questions I should really focus on? From personal experiences, any info would be greatly appreciated.
Can not believe i even bother answering, because my interviews do not go well....YET let me start, maybe someone else will help you more!
BUT THERE ARE THREADS ON THIS WEB SITE THAT WOULD ANSWER YOU QUESTION BETTER THAN I WOULD.
There is no such thing as "good question to ask".
1st: you need to ask questions that you actually need answers too. For example, do not ask a student what classes 1st year students take - it is on the web site. Depending on the school and situation, I GUESS, I THINK, you can ask about the clubs/community service organizations that students (or your interviewer) are involved in. It was just something I personally was interested in... Ask about some statistics (how many students go for residency, for example).
Just make sure you ask something that s actually worth answering.
2nd: If your faculty member interviewer mentioned his/her research (and you listened and understood) - you can ask more in-depth questions.
Obviously, make sure you know what you are asking!!! That is why it is helpful to look over FACULTY pages before interview. That would prepare you!
3rd: Ask your "health care advisor" (or whatever the person who deals with grad school applications is called at your school)!!!!!
That is all I know. Have some simple questions ready, of coarse. MAke it a conversation (or try to, it is hard when you are scared and nervous).
Good luck
