I interviewed yesterday, 3/5, and I received an invitation for the interview on 2/19. The email I received stated that the interview was scheduled to begin at 8AM until whenever. When I arrived, we were all held in a classroom. They only provided water and coffee, so I suggest bringing snacks to keep your energy up. There was no presentation about the program, like going over the curriculum, rotations, tuition, etc. The interview started with us having to write an essay, you have 30 minutes to complete the task. Our essay topic was about the Affordable Healthcare Act and you had to answer six questions regarding it. I don’t remember each question word for word, but one asked if you thought the “ACA should be repealed and/or replaced” and another asked if you think the “individual mandate is unconstitutional.” The AHA was our essay topic they may give you something different. After the essay, they called us in groups of 5 to be interviewed. The interview is 2 on 1, there’s no group interview. You’ll be held in the classroom until your name is called. They told us we would be interviewed by a mix of staff, current students, and alumni. I was interviewed by an adjunct professor (sweetest lady on the planet! We bonded over our love of public health, which I have a B.S. in) and an alumna (who was intimidating to say the least). The first question they asked me was just to talk about myself and why I chose to apply to CUNY. They asked other questions regarding my application, like my patient care experience. They asked me how I would deal with a class that I'm doing very poorly in and where I saw myself in 5 years. The questioning was rapid fire. At the end of their questioning I was able to ask them a few questions. Once your interview is done you can leave. There is no tour or after Q&A, which was disappointing. However, you can always call or email with questions. Hopefully that helps. Best of luck to you. Wow!! Thanks! A++ for detail! Good luck and wish you the best!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
