Midwestern University Interview Advice

[speechgrad123]

I have an interview at Midwestern in Downers Grove, IL coming up. I was wondering if anyone who has been through their interview process has any advice on the process. I know they do a personal interview and a clinical type interview. Any advice on the clinical writing prompt? Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

They will ask you questions about hypotheticals what would you do in this situation. They will ask you to talk about yourself. And you will be given a writing prompt and 20 minutes to answer the question again another what would you do. I interviewed for Glendale and was accepted yesterday!

Hey! I was wondering if the hypothetical questions are more towards SLP profession itself or just general life situation questions? Thanks!

I am also interviewing with Midwestern in a couple days and any advice about the interview process would be so helpful!

Hi guys! The hypothetical questions I got did revolve around Speech Pathology but it wasn't clinical stuff, just basic "what would you do" type questions. Don't stress, I remember being really nervous before the interview, but the professors do a great job on making you feel comfortable. Good luck!
