Group activity is monitored by faculty, we aren’t given a rubric on how they score us but when I had my 1:1 interview, they told us it was blind.

No, I still have not been able to land an interview. They just "waitlisted" some of us for the next interview. They send out emails saying "being considered for the next interview on _____(interview date)" while stating they passed on me for this months interview. I'm assuming it is because my GPA is not on the higher scale, but here's hoping I am able to land one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased the savanna perry interview guide and that was extremely helpful in aiding how to form an answer. Make sure you have experiences from healthcare just ready to go, and I know it’s cliche and I hated hearing it but truly just be yourself. I feel like they know when you’re forming an answer based on what you think they want to hear.
