IU-Bloomington: STEPS Interview

[karita]

Hey all, 

I'm applying to IU-Bloomington's bilingual program, STEPS. Does anyone go there and have any advice going into the interview? I have my interview on Monday, and I'm kind of nervous. I was a Spanish major in undergrad, but it has been several years since I have practiced on a regular basis.

 

Thank you for your help, and good luck to anyone hoping to enter the program!

I had my interview for the STEPS program on Friday. I was super nervous but it was not bad at all - it lasted about 10 minutes. The website www.conversationexchange.com is a great tool to practice your Spanish with native speakers if you think that would help you. Beforehand, I practiced saying a few general things I thought they might ask about, and that seemed to help me a bit. Apparently they only take 5-8 people into the STEPS program, so even though I felt okay about my interview, I will be pretty surprised if I get in.

Good luck!

Awesome, glad to hear it wasn't too bad I have actually been using conversationexchange also! It has definitely been helpful. Thanks for your reply, maybe I'll see you in grad school! That's too bad that they accept so few, especially considering the need for bilingual SLPs.
