I went to an interview last week at a school that offers PBL as the curriculum. The interview was done in group interviews, so there were 5 other interviewees with me, and two interviewers. We went around the room stating why we thought PBL was a good way to learn.
Me: *Gives random answers as to why PBL is great* and it's also good because it helps for group interviews! ....wait a minute, uh, I mean group study sessions!
The room cracked up after that. I still got in!
And a word of advice I learned along the trail when I interviewed at various jobs: Steer clear from talking negative about anything! Whether it's your undergrad institution, a particular field, or whatever. Try to always be upbeat and positive. It'll go a long way! Clearly by reading this thread, whenever interviewees speak negatively, it comes flying back in their face because the interviewer doesn't appreciate it! I never had an interviewer question my motives or anything because everything is happy and full of sunshine and unicorns! Unless of course the interviewer talks bad about something first. Then full steam ahead! 😀
the school notified you of an acceptance after only a week? 😱
