KPPA15 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Im not sure really. This was my first invite, so I am extremely pumped. Does anyone know how many they interview, and/or how many they accept? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hthompson Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 When I interviewed there were at least three days that week. They had ten people in our session with an afternoon session to follow. Just based on that I'm assuming at least 60 have interviewed and they are accepting 30 this cycle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPPA15 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Thank you for that information! In the email, there were only 2 dates listed, so maybe there are only 2 days this month. I wonder how many seats are already filled..I'm guessing at least half! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissM2325 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 It is not a difficult interview, I feel like I did not get to shine the things that I had done to get the interview. Like my genetics tutoring, internship, my ta positions, my HCE. I wish that I could have more. The questions were pretty general. That was my first interview ever, and I did on the waitlist. If you do--it is okay. They arent denying you off of the bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MissM2325 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 And have fun with the group interview. Thats what I did. Dont be too up tight. Be yourself. I learned from that experience to loosen up and just tell them what you really feel. Dont be rehearsed-just be natural. I felt so nervous bc it was my First interview too, but it is not my last. Just be yourself, be passionate about the profession, and SHINE in that individual interview. You will get in if you do YOU!:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPPA15 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Ok thank you so much for the advice! I'm going to try REALLY hard to relax :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
issac_01 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 It's my first year applying and also was my first interview. I was incredibly nervous when I walked through the doors but all the staff made it less nerve racking. One of the first things they told us was to just be yourselves and that honestly set the tone for me to relax and enjoy the experience. Easier said than done but just be yourself.

lmchel Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Thanks for the info jmurph. Do they ask ethics question in the group or the individual? You're interviewing for UK's Morehead campus right? I saw your name in that thread as well! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS_PAstudent Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I also received my email for an interview! I'm extremely excited! I replied that I am available for either day, August 20th and 21st. Looking forward to seeing the University of Charleston! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hopefulfor2014 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 the purpose of the writing sample is just to make sure you have a higher level of writing. i don't think its scored so much on content as it is grammar and spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurph Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Imchel, You are correct,I am interviewing at UK at well. I agree with Hopefulfor2014, the writing sample seemed like it was more about grammar and spelling as one of the professors stressed to make sure if you use the word "a lot" to make sure it is two words. LOL! Without compromising the integrity of the interview, I would say be prepared for any type of question and just be yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajs6 Posted August 8, 2014 Share Posted August 8, 2014 Relax and be yourself! Think of it this way... you are interviewing them as much as they are interviewing you. That way, not all of the pressure is on you! I interviewed with the first group of applicants, and was accepted :) Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hthompson Posted August 9, 2014 Share Posted August 9, 2014 Lol whoever is interviewing in August should ask how many spots have been filled and report back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPPA15 Posted August 10, 2014 Share Posted August 10, 2014 I also requested to interview the 21st! I am coming from Ohio, what about everyone else? I call dibs on NOT asking how many spots are left :)! I bet someone will ask, or maybe they'll just tell us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
