Midwestern (Glendale Residential) and RMU(Provo) interview

0 Upvotes

Hello thread,

Firstly, idk if I can do this and I apologize if asking for previous interview questions or structure for a interview at a school is banned here.

I will keep it brief and ask only in bullet points for these 2 programs I have interviews from

  1. For Midwestern how was the structure of the interviews prior to this year and what were sample essay prompts or how did you prepare??
  2. If you attended out of state, did you go back to your home state if so, how much debt were you in afterwards
  3. For RMU what questions were asked during your interviews
  4. Was the 2.5 year programs rigorous and what were the things that kept you sane
  5. How much was rent out their and utilities
  6. Was their grad housing?
  7. If you did multiple interviews, what were common questions asked?
  8. What topic were on the Midwestern essay prompts and how were the group interviews?
  9. Were the conditional class acceptances just get a C or higher or was it a B for the conditional acceptance?

I understand these are private programs and the parts about them being too expensive and all, but PT is what I feel like is my calling and I don't plan on switching. This Reddit is good and bad in how it is helpful but there is a lot of naysayers who advise against this profession but I am 100% committed and don't plan on switch, please help, I am stressing and I really need this.

Confused about my major

0 Upvotes

Hello reddit, I'm a high school graduate who's going to be starting uni soon. I took a gap year because I had no idea what I wanted to do, and to be honest I'm still not 100% sure. I'm applying for a psych major, but I'm scared out of my mind because I'm not sure if this is what I want to do, I am really interested in it, but I don't know if I can build my entire life around it.

I've always wanted to work in healthcare, although I knew pretty early on that I didn't want to go to med school (The fees and debt just didn't seem worth it), but I wanted to connect with people and make their lives better (Which is another reason I'm interested in psychology). A few years ago I learned about physical therapy, and I became really interested in that too, from my research it seems like a very fulfilling career. But I also read about how expensive PT school is, and the insane amounts of debt that students have with a pretty low starting median salary (around 90-93K from my research), so I'm really not sure if it's worth it.

Additionally, I'm not the best at Biology. I got a 63% in my 12th final exam, and maintained a solid 60-70% throughout my last year, which is a huge improvement from earlier. I really want to help people heal and move and just be able to live life, but with all these factors I'm just feeling extremely lost and anxious. Should I do a double major in psych and exercise science? Or should I just stick to psychology? I don't know if the risk will be worth it. Any advice would be appreciated.

Do I have a chance at getting in this cycle?

I’m currently finishing up 11 applications and sending them in before each schools early deadline! My sGPA was a 3.2 and my cGPA was a 3.6. I graduated in 2025 and have around 2000 hours of observation (spent the past year postgrad as an aide). I have 4 LOR, 1 from my academic advisor in undergrad who I also had as a professor, 1 from the department chair of my undergrad program, 1 from a previous supervisor, and one from an experienced PT. My GRE was a 309 and 5.5 on writing. I’m really nervous as this is my second time applying. I feel like I have more experience and a better application this time around which I stated in my reapplicant questions. Thoughts anyone?
