I wish I would have known how casual and conversational the interview was going to be. Not many direct questions but I was presented with a few ethical scenarios based on how the conversation was going along. Had to make a point to tell my story within the conversation rather than be directly asked.

Mock interviews & school research
The interview was super conversational and casual. My interviewer was very nice & well-spoken. The school seems great and definitely hoping to get the A! Also my interview was virtual but SDN wouldn't let me select it.
How conversational it was. Questions stemmed from responses.
Interviewers and admissions team had good energy and genuinely wanted to get to know the applicants. They also gave us a timeframe of when they were gonna get back to us.
SDN, school website, reviewing my application.
Honestly thinking of withdrawing due to the negative interview experience
Prepare to answer your questions in one sentence or shorter
Interview was really rushing me and cutting me off after 5-6 words each question. No time to clarify what the questions were.
very high tuition, student panel seemed incredibly un-enthusiastic
Faculty interviewers were very relaxed and friendly, rotational sites in FL which I wasn't aware of
SDN, mock interviews, Youtube, interview prep book
One of my interviewers went on personal negative rants
The administration presentation. The actual admissions presenter was extremely warm and kind.
Practice interviews and researching the school
Interviewer would ask questions I would answer say the answer they were looking for then they would go “that’s not correct it’s…..” and repeat exactly what I just said
That it was going to be a 1:1 Q&A interrogation of questions that had absolutely nothing to do with myself/application or the school/ program
Nothing
