<\/b>\"Any-Questions-1-e1418336957464-300x285\"<\/a>Reason for asking the question:<\/i><\/b> To make sure the candidate has all pertinent information necessary about the school, as well as to confirm that he or she has thoroughly researched the program and consequently has thoughtful questions<\/a>.<\/p>\n

How to prepare:<\/i><\/b> This will most likely be your last opportunity to ask questions of the program before you find out the admission decision, so make sure the questions count. Take enough time to consider this prior to your interview, since this is perhaps the only question you can be positive will be asked in the interview. Write your questions down if need be.<\/p>\n

You do not want the questions to be procedural in nature, such as, \u201cWhen will I find out about your decision?\u201d Those types of questions can be asked at the very conclusion of the interview (if necessary), but well after your primary questions. Questions should be well thought out and perhaps give the interviewer pause before answering. After all, the interviewer has had YOU in the hot seat for the last thirty minutes with challenging questions, so you should have some in return!<\/p>\n

The best questions are the ones that make the interviewer have to dig deep into his\/her knowledge to answer, or better yet, might be ones the interviewer can\u2019t answer then and there. In this case the interviewer will need to check into a question and get back in touch with you. YES! One final opportunity to have a connection with someone critical to your admission decision. Thoughtful questions could focus on \u201cbig picture\u201d things like school strategy, trends or specifics related to particular coursework.<\/p>\n

Important things to remember: <\/i><\/b>Even if you have memorized all the content on the school\u2019s website, visited campus<\/a> and already asked (and had answered) all the questions you think you could possibly ever have, you better not have a blank stare, or a simple, \u201cNone,\u201d answer.<\/p>\n

Additional things to consider:<\/i><\/b> As a general rule of thumb, plan on two-three questions (not of the procedural type).<\/p>\n
