[Midwestern University Arizona Interview]

Thank you and congrats! Did you have to respond to both prompts or pick just one? It’s funny because some other people were saying it was SLP related and like a hypothetical situation you had to write about. Maybe they just decided to change it. 

Thanks  Just pick one! Prompts weren’t SLP treatment related would prob be a better way of saying it! No hypothetical situations or anything like that. More just kind of writing your thoughts on whatever the prompt is. But I think they may have been more SLP related last year from what the current students told us at lunch. But really they’re just looking at your writing in general, so try not to stress too much about it!  

Also, the interviewers told me they don’t see your apps beforehand, which I appreciated. They also completely understand that you’re gonna be nervous (at least the 2 I had did) so I think as long as you go in confident with your answers and are personable I think you’ll be fine!

The other girls I interviewed with that day were all great so that really helped calm the nerves and made the day a little bit more fun too

[Midwestern University Arizona Interview]

Hi! I interviewed with them December 17th and was accepted 2 weeks ago! They changed the interview process slightly from last year, but for the most part what AAH said was the same. There were 9 of us interviewing for SLP that day. Expect to be there the whole time, 7:30-2ish. I think the writing was different from last year, we were given 2 prompts (not really SLP related) and had 30 minutes to type it, that was the most stressful part for me, but I got in so I guess I did something right! I interviewed with 2 professors, was asked maybe 4 questions...be sure to know why you want to attend Midwestern lol. Most of the interviews were short, so don’t be worried if yours isn’t long! Last tip, make sure to wear flats because we walked a lot during the campus tour! Good luck!

[How to get Speech Language Pathology work experience?]

Hi! I would highly suggest trying to find a rehab aide job or observe with all 3 disciplines (speech, OT, PT), it’ll look great on applications! I’ve worked in a pediatric hospital outpatient therapy clinic and I’ve gotten tons of speech experience.
