Easy interview

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN) in Feb 2018

Interview

The first round of interviews consisted of three sessions of group interviews. In these, we solve a problem as a team, hosted group discussions, and created posters for presentations. These were weighted less heavily than the individual interview where I was interviewed by one area coordinator and two current RAs. Questions about my personal experiences and ideas for floor community were the focus of the latter interview portion.

Application

I applied through college or university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Vanderbilt University (Nashville, TN) in Dec 2013

Interview

The interview was pretty relaxed - you are made to sit before a group of three interviewers, two students and one school official. The questions were pretty standard - of the sort, "what would you do if x happened to a student... tell me of a time when... " and so on.
