ayresae Posted July 20, 2011 Author Share Posted July 20, 2011 I am in finished applying to schools and now waiting for interview invites... I was hoping that those of you who are already in programs, or have been recently accepted would be willing to share with me some of the questions asked in your interviews. I have applied to UK, Baylor and Trevecca, but would appreciate comments from students and interviewers at any program. Thanks in advance for your guidance.

chiaroscuro27 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Nope. That's like asking for the master copy of an exam before taking the test. The only comment I will leave you is that you are far better off knowing who you are and what you bring to the table. I assume you know that much already! That's really all you need to do well on your interview. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gracec210 Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 If you search the forum or even the internet in general, you should be able to find multiple threads that mention/discuss some commonly asked interview questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cinntsp Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 you will have to draw from memory the Kreb cycle, to scale, in 90 seconds or less. That will require a really tiny pencil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just Steve Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 to scale....much like an architect can draw a house on a regular sheet of paper...instead of 10' being equal to 1", it would be something like .00001m equal to .01m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uscbigdawg Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Architect's don't use 1" = 10', engineers do. :) A more appropriate scale would be 1/4" or 1/8" = 1'-0" that an architect would use in general. However, given the task at hand, the metric system would likely be a better choice with likely micrometers (10^-6) or nanometers (10^-9) being an appropriate scale factor, for clarity. Had to do it.

vaston Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 He's waiting for interviews and yet his profile says PA Student. Huh. Buuuuuut, since we are on the topic of asking for things you're not supposed to have just dished out to you, I could use some extra cash. ayresae, can I have your Bank name, routing number and debit card PIN? I just want to have it on hand in case of an emergency, I SWEAR. OK, in all fairness. Here's a question you can expect at an interview: An astronaut leaves the planet traveling at 90% the speed of light. 1 month after he leaves his wife sends him a message that she is pregnant, the message is traveling AT the speed of light. Now, according to the theory of relativity, How old will he be when the message reaches him? How old will his child be when it reaches him? Also, if he turns around IMMEDIATELY up on receiving the message and returns home AT the speed of light, how old will he be when he meets his child? How old will the child be? Ready.......GO!

chiaroscuro27 Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Good one, vaston. I vaguely remember being asked a similar question during my interview. The only difference was the wife sends a message to the husband saying that she is in fact a man, and has fathered another woman's child...or something like that. I LOVE the PA forum!

There are other ways of sending messages into space...... I guess this generation automatically thinks of texting when a topic like this comes up LOL. :) If I remember my physics class correctly, since he is the one traveling at the speed of light, he will age according to his perception of his time spent in space. If he were gone for 2 years, assuming the message took 1 year to reach him, he turned around immediately and it took him 1 year to return traveling at the speed of light, then he would only be 2 years older than when he left. But his daughter will be somewhere around 80 years old according to earth time. I could be wrong though, it's been a while since I have had to dig out those physics cobwebs in this brain of mine.
