Sonography FAQ | College Interview Questions
What's up CZcams fam and WELCOME back to the channel! Welcome if it's your first time, I am SO happy you're here! My name is Geselle and I am an ultrasound technologist, Disney lover, and fellow Vegas dweller. I aim to spread PAWSitivity in the world! Thank you for stopping by and I hope you stick around!
Today's video includes tips on how to ace your college interview... what to expect during a college program interview or college acceptance interview, my advice on how to answer these top 5 commonly asked questions and how to prepare for your interview! I hope you watch the entire thing because it can greatly help you reach your college goals! I am a person who has anxiety and grew up on the shy side, but I have been able to sit through multiple interviews in my life... so definitely don't hesitate to ask me anything in the comments for your personal needs!
Today’s advice: Going to college and getting into a program is not an easy thing to do. It takes time, handwork, and dedication. Remember that anything worth having doesn’t come easy. And if it were easy, everyone would do it. Believe in yourself, be confident, speak with clarity and know that you can achieve anything you put your mind to. Be proud in your life experiences, your strengths and your weaknesses, and show off all your hard work from over the years. If you fall, get back up. Try again and never give up. You got this!!!!!

Em, thank you so much for being here! Just wanna help people on their journeys! These are things I wish I knew!! Appreciate your support always!! 💖
When I was doing my interview for DMS, I recall there was another Asian prospective student and we were picked randomly and each asked random questions. The question he got was, "How do you deal with failure? Let's say you got a bad grade. How would you react and how would you move forward from there?" You know how we Asians have this reputation for doing very well in school? I feel like that was this guy, and his answer reflected this: "Hehe I would never fail an exam." He did not make it into the program.
My personal advice, if I may add, is to be realistic during these interviews, be positive, and be modest about the learning experience you're so eager to have in the near future.
Yes, love your advice. Programs want to see your true personality and the strength you have to push through because these programs are tough/ hard to get through.
hi! i always watch your videos because i’m in college for sonography right now. i’m only a freshman, so i’m taking general ed classes. i’ve had my mind set on doing sonography for about 2-3 years now. your videos are really helpful and insightful! i talked to my advisor a couple of weeks ago, and she told me that based on my gpa and knowledge of the field i am a competitive candidate for the program. this was super reassuring to hear especially as a freshman. i won’t have an interview until summer of 2023 but i’m on track with all of the interview requirements. i can’t wait to start my journey as a sonographer. i love watching your videos ❤️
Hey Makala! Ah, that's so amazing!!! You're on the right track then! Take it one day at a time and get to know your advisor and sonography directors/ professors!! Make sure they know who you are ;) and I'm sure you will get in!!! I am thankful for you and hope to see you in more comment sections. Definitely rooting for you!!!
Hi Makala , I seen your review I just started my journey for sonography since you been in the program do you have any tips on the program or things you wish you knew before?
How’d it go?

Isabella's Quick Recipes thanks love 💕 hope you’re having an amazing weekend!
Even though my program don’t require an interview to get in this will help me when getting a job. Good point about strength and weakness. I’m trying to figure out my weaknesses lol
Asmaa Peake that’s awesome they don’t require an interview. Mine didn’t before but then it started to get competitive and the year I joined was the first year of interviews 😂😅
Yeah definitely something that most places even job interviews ask!!! We all have weaknesses. Just gotta be honest and make them a good thing or something you can learn and grow from. 🥰 Thanks for being here, Asmaa so happy to see you! ✨
Great tips. Thank you for sharing.

I went to college because I had no other idea what I was going to do lol and I finished in engineering because I changed my major so many times I had to stick with that one😂 I went from criminal just, to forensic science to electrical engineering and then landed on mechanical engineering and finished with that one 😂🤷🏻♀️. Talk about overthinking! 🤪🤪🤪 I just couldn’t decide!
Just Wingin' It! 😱 oh my gosh girly at least you went to college and got a degree and finished! Proud of you!! I’m a proud over thinker 😅 it’s not good for most things but sometimes you have to! Lol. And at least you probably know lots of stuff from each subject. But your personality is what I love the most so haaayyy, get 👏🏽 it 👏🏽 girl 👏🏽!!! 🤍
Very helpful video, thank you
Glad to hear that! Thank you for watching!

Yay!!! I’m so glad!! You’ve got this, be yourself and shine!!!✨
Did you end up accepted ?
Hi there! I did not realize that you’re from the Philippines. I’m from the Philippines too - from Lapu- Lapu City. I am wondering what you think about rad tech? I just applied to a rad tech program at my community college, but now I am confused if I should have picked sonography instead. Your job sounds more interesting. My OBGYN talked about this career and it didn’t really entice me then, but watching your videos make me feel like sonography fits my lifestyle better. Thanks for making these informative videos by the way!
It just depends on what fits you best! Rad techs are also great!! No matter what the healthcare field is awesome, just gotta find what you like :) Appreciate you watching and supporting the channel!
I have an interview on Friday!! 🤞🏼
stay PAWSitive and show them how much research and time you've put in to wanting to do this career!
if my interviewer asks me if i have any questions, what should i ask them? i don't want to just say no because i don't want to give the wrong impression.
I would ask them "what are the steps to take the ARDMS board exams, can I take physics SPI exam right after physics" you can also ask them "when can we do clinical or how do you choose clinical sites for students" just ask them some specific questions toward the program and your future !
Thanks for the video! my interview is coming soon! so nervous. Any more tips??
Ahhh, don’t be nervous! Just remember how much you want this, be passionate, show them you’re excited and willing to learn so much more.. think of what’s brought you here thus far and what makes you stand out! Take deep breaths before going in and be confident! Good luck! ✨
@@lolgeselle Thanks!
Great vid! So, because the program is insanely competitive, would you recommend applying to more than one sono school program?
Amy C. Thank you Amy!! Happy to see you here!! ✨
I would definitely apply to multiple programs if you have the chance to, just need to make sure your pre-reqs will transfer and count for the programs you apply for. It doesn’t hurt to apply to more than one but if you have your eyes set on one place just know if you don’t get in the first try when you apply the second time some will usually like to see that you’ve applied before. What it comes down to is how long are you willing to wait. I had friends who actually waited 2-3 years to get into our program. But really just depends on you! And the programs are possible to get into, just gotta show how much you want it and network where you can! 💕
@@lolgeselle yes! Thank you! I'm feeling PAWSitive because I'm just going to choose to be! I'm going to envision myself in on the 1st try! Lol I don't want to wait 2 or 3 years but I know I still have to be realistic of that possibility! I would have to relocate a few hours away if I don't get into the one I really want. But for now, focusing on getting prepared for prereqs! And great reminder about making sure classes transfer over! That is a must- Thanks! Hope you're having a great weekend so far!
Also looking forward to future updates on the new job once you're acclimated! Take care! ❤
Amy C. Yessss hun, I’m LIVING for that PAWSitive attitude of yours! Manifest it into your life. Try to think of allll the goood that will come out of working hard! I know it’s tough to think of the competition but focus on yourself and what you have to bring to the table. Truly you can do it if you put your mind to it! And I’m glad you are open to the possibility of relocating!! That shows that you really want this! 👏🏽 Yesss. Do your best in prereqs and get those good grades. I’m here for you all the way!!!! ✨
Yes girl! Monday is orientation day, and I’m sooo nervous yet excited at the same times. I’m like.. oh gawrsh what did I get myself into 👀 haha jk but really though it’s the nerves talking. So ready for something new. Thank you for being here and supporting, love! 🤍
@@lolgeselle Thank you so much! I feel blessed & thankful for you! I feel that you (& Tamica @ivegotthisx2) are with me all the way over here! I often refer to you both as the "connections" I've made so far. It makes a world of difference when you add to the "pot" of goals & ambition! 🙏
P.S. I wanted to ask- Why did you leave the hospital setting again? Were you ready for something more solid than PRN or were you always waiting for a clinic opportunity? You don't have to answer here ( DM me on IG) or not answer at all..lol I was just wondering..🤗 And no worries on orientation- you got it covered and you're ready! You've made it this far- orientation will be a BREEZE! Praying for a PAWSitive work environment & growth opportunities! ❤
Amy C. You are so blessed in every way! Me and Tamica are in your corner!! Cheering you on for sure 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I love that!! Because you need others to get you through life and your journeys, I’m so happy to hear that we’re making an impact! ✨
Ahhh love so I’m actually staying PRN at hospital AND working at outpatient for PRN. So I’ll be having TWO jobs and it’s going to be crazy, busy, but fun!! I just want as much experience as I can while I’m young and able. The more you scan and the more opportunities that life hands you, definitely try to take it! So I’ll be hopefully helping out more people with this experience 🥰
Oh my gosh I appreciate you!!! The nerves are real but totally gonna be PAWSitive through it all! Thank you thank you love!! 🤍🤍🤍 Hope you’re having a fun weekend! ✨
I'm in New York. Any college or school you would recommend?? preferably kind of affordable??Also, I heard CAAHEP accredited is a must for finding a future job, is that true?
I would say go to Reddit or Facebook groups and ask where people have gone to in New York and graduated that are reputable... CAAHEP is not a MUST but it is HIGHLY recommended.
Hi Geselle, I had my 1st admissions interview. I received an email for a 15 minutes 2nd interview. I thought I answer every question they asked. Never heard of a 2nd interview.
What do I expect in a 2nd interview? What type of questions?
Congrats on the interviews! Maybe they want to just know a little bit more about you and your future goals/ aspirations. Definitely just go into it expecting for them to ask personal/ situational questions. You've got this, just be confident!
@@lolgeselle Thank you GiGi 🙏🏾
Hope it went well!!!
Would using my preventative mastectomy as a way to stand out be bad? Like I don’t want their pity but it’s a part of what inspired me to go into this field. Being able to speak up when patients don’t feel heard.
I was young and felt a lump. My doctor wouldn’t listen to me so I got a second opinion, ultrasound found a tumor ( luckily benign) but at 23 I decided to have a mastectomy since I tested positive for BRCA1…. I don’t want to over share but if the story helps😅
Yes of course! Your personal story is personal to you, and that is definitely something they will remember you by. I think you can use that as a way to show your passion and confidence about you wanting to be better for your future patients! I think that is a perfect way to stand out and not bad at all. You're showing them the impact the medical field has had with your life!
What do you typically wear for these interviews?
I would say business casual!
Wait, I’m confused so is this to enter the sonography program or is this afterwards . I never heard of being interviewed to enter a college program
This is to apply into a sonography program. Some programs require an interview process in order to be considered into the program.
Just got my results (rad tech) and unfortunately i did not get accepted. Very hard, competitive program and what questions i thought would be in it, was not. Questions were all situational, 2-3 part answer and they were all the hardest interview ive ever been in
dude mines on july 6th, was it based HESI critical thinking?
@@Stefin770 it is critical thinking, but not entirely based on HESI. I wish u luck tho
@@Plasma_King dang, do u kind of remember what exactly they said? How am I supposed to study then? lol. For my college(HCC), they recently implemented interviews(i think this year actually), previously they only made u take critical thinking questions on the HESI instead.
@@Stefin770 yeah i still do, right after the interview, i wrote down all questions they had asked while it was still fresh in my head. As far as my own interview research tho, i learned that a lot of UNI program interviews have their own style of asking questions.
Aw man. I'm so sorry to hear that. Don't give up. What do you plan on doing next?
1k!!!!!!
nathan wendling YOURE NEXT🥰🥰😍😍
@@lolgeselle 🤷♂️
nathan wendling are you in Vegas yet 👀
@@lolgeselle yup
nathan wendling yay!
What school did you go to?
UNLV :)
Job interviews definitely involve a lot of bullshitting and that’s probably why I’ve always dreaded them.
I hear ya!!!
