10 Grad School Interview Questions & How to Answer Them!

10 Grad School Interview Questions & How to Answer Them!

Are you in the process of applying to grad school? Are you hoping for an interview and wanting to know how to prepare for it? After completing your grad school applications, the graduate school admissions committee will invite a small number of potential grad students in for an interview. How can you ensure that your interview goes well and increase the likelihood of getting into the graduate program? It's important to prepare for the interview process, specifically the 10 most common grad school interview questions!

In this video, we'll talk about 10 interview questions you may be asked, the purpose of these questions for the interviewers (i.e., what information are they hoping to gather about you to make an informed decision about your application), and how to answer these questions to increase your chance of acceptance into the graduate program! I'll also be giving you some examples of answers that I provided in my interview to give you some ideas about how to answer these questions.

Preparing for these questions helped me succeed in my first year of grad school applications and get accepted into a counselling psychology masters program. I hope this video will also help you in your grad school interviews too! 😊
