Congrats, I was also invited for an interview on April 30th. I'm doing a phone interview. I heard that the interview is actually very casual and short. Any one else hear anything about the interview process?

I also heard it was very casual. They want to make sure you would be a good fit into their program. I'm doing the interview in person later in May. Good luck to you guys

By doing a phone interview, I feel like I'll be selling myself short as they won't be able to put a name with a face. I also wonder if that will play into their decision. One would think it would.
A co worker of mine who also live in NY went out there, I honestly think that it's better for them to see you in person and see how you are in person. I just feel like it leave alot of ambiguity out there for them. And what if I did the phone interview and didn't get in. I dont wanna sit there and say to myself, oh crap well maybe I would have gotten in if I went out there. Nah, no regrets here.

You're probably right as far as going there in person for the interview. I myself though chose a phone interview. I wanted to get it done as soon as possible and with my current busy schedule and finances, it was the best option. Good luck to everyone on their interviews!!

I had btw 30-35 students in the class. They keep a few for alternates.
Skip, are you a recent grad?
Hi, I attended a few years ago. Good luck on your interview.
Thanks.
I had my interview today for SMU. It was over the phone, I live in Oregon. It was pretty casual like others have posted. They did give me a scenario at the end and asked me a few questions about what interventions I would do. Overall I think I did ok for my first interview, I have room for improvement though.
