amireland3 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Hi everyone, I have an interview for the joint MSPAS/MPH Program next week. Can anyone give me an idea on how the interview was set up and was it intense? How was the committee? Were they friendly? What kind of questions did they ask and what should I expect? Thanks!

so_angelic91 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hello, Be yourself (I know, pretty cliche...everyone says that), but it's true. They can see through any facade so just be yourself, and remain cool, calm and collected. The interview day starts off with a small breakfast where you and fellow candidates are introduced to the faculty, staff and student leaders. You are then assigned your student leader. From there you follow the schedule you are given (every group has different schedules). The schedules contain the following: interview with PA and MPH faculty members (2 total), group interview with PA program director and staff member, lunch, seminar on financial aid, writing sample using their resources from their library (you pick journals, books, internet aritcles, etc, and research a topic of interest and answer questions that they give you (in essay format, i believe). That's pretty much how the day went. The questions asked in the interviews, were pretty much why PA/MPH, and the rest were pretty much scenario based questions. I can't really remember them, im sorry. Just search "ethical based scenario questions in interviews." You should get the general gist of what they may ask you. Hope this helped. Good luck!

amireland3 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thank you for the info! Is it a mix of staff members on the committee board? And how is the group interview set up? How many applicants are in that group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so_angelic91 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I know how you both feel "toyotabike" and "tas4" Lets just hope for the best. If you don't mind me asking, which waitlist did they put you on? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
so_angelic91 Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 It is a mix of staff members. They place you in groups of 5, I believe. In the group interview you are placed in a conference room with two faculty/staff members and they ask questions to all of you as a group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
