The Interview Interviews vary from school to school. At some places the interview will be a one on one meeting, and, at others, the applicant may meet with two or more interviewers, either separately or as a group. Sometimes, students at the professional school are used in addition to faculty for interviewing purposes. Interviews generally last between 20 and 60 minutes. At most schools, the interview is an easy-going, open discussion, rather than a stressful encounter.
Schools are interested in poise and behavior as well as what is said.
One should act naturally and answer all questions as truthfully as possible. Be prepared to ask questions of an interviewer, because this is often expected. It is also very wise to study the school catalog before an interview. Within four to six weeks after an interview, an applicant is usually notified of an accept , reject or hold status. Following Acceptance Be prompt in communication with professional schools following notice of acceptance.
