I have an interview for my top choice ACNP program. I am a bit nervous about the interview. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions on how to prepare for the interview? Any ideas on types of questions they may ask. I want to be well prepared to ace the interview. Thanks in advance for all of your help.

Congrats on the interview:balloons:.

Is the interview in person or via phone? It can be nerve wracking talking to someone who could potentially change your course of action but I am sure you will be fine. I remember being interviewed and what she was most concerned with was how I was going to fit school work and family responsibilities into my life during the program. Of course, she was calling from her cell phone and the call kept dropping the entire time:wink2:. Very frustrating.

What school did you ultimately choose?

Congrats on the interview. But why are you interviewing to get into a school? I have never had to do so.

Lots of grad programs have an interview process, so they can better determine who would be a good fit for their program.

The interview will be in person. It is the program at the University of Pittsburgh.
