[@carlosbardales6543]

I have an upcoming OT interview in a couple of weeks, I have heard that some interviewers ask you if you have any questions at the end of the interview. Even though you might not have any questions is always good to ask something, what would be a good question to ask ?

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

I always asked what their favorite part about the program was. Also could follow up and ask what sets them apart from other programs, again you always want to show that you are talking to other schools as well

[@carlosbardales6543]

@@newtomedicaldevicesales Thank you for the advice.

[@joEbOxErsvggyrl]

Do you remember any specific questions from Midwestern? I have an interview with them soon.

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

joEbOxErsvggyrl they asked what is OT, what my goals where, the setting I liked the most, and also what I thought could be improved in the profession, but I know they are always switching them around but might have one of those questions or more

[@joEbOxErsvggyrl]

Thank you!! What did was your answer for “what could be improved” also did you have to write an essay?

[@jackie3968]

For the waitlist, how does the faculty choose from there?

[@newtomedicaldevicesales]

They wait to see which candidates decline their offer and choose the next person in Line off the waitlist, each school will be different how they rank candidates for their list
