Masters program interview questions???

[Blondy876]

I have an interview next week for entrance into a Masters program. It will hopefully lead to a Masters in Teaching. It just hit me tonight that I have no idea what to expect. Can anyone else who has been through this process tell me what to expect and what kind of questions they might ask. I really want to be prepared. Thanks!

Mine were primarily about what undergrad was like for me and what I was looking for in a program. (School Psych) It was more about finding out if the program and I were a match than finding out about qualification type stuff or difficult questions like are found on a job interview.

Thanks for the info. I was wondering if it would be like a job interview. I'm really nervous. Thanks!!

I was all nervous when I had my interview for sped but I had already taken 3 courses and got a 4.0 plus got a 91 % on Miller Anology so it was a pretty sure thing they would let me in. Have you taken any courses or any entrance tests? If you have then and the result is good you will nto have to worry about the interview.

I have a 3.9 GPA and they don't require (or even suggest) any entrance exams. This is actually just to finish my degree. I have already completed more than half of the program with them. I took too much time off though so in order to finish I have to go through the entrance process. There was no interview my first time around. I am pretty sure they will let me in, I'm just nervous at the idea of being interviewed by so many people. I like being ready for anything and I just don't feel like I am.

You are a shoe in!! How long have you been gone? They want more mature people who know what they want instead of some booze swilling freshman whose primary concern is a toga party!

Do not worry a 3.9 is excellent. I went back after 25 years.
