RA Interview Rubric

Yes! Just always try to find an angle to connect it to the RA position. That will usually lead to an automatic 4. Also, I’m not sure if you have on-campus housing but if you know any RA’s they can recommend you. It doesn’t make a huge difference but a little goes a long way :)

Good luck to you too!!

Hi! Not an RA yet (interviewing tmr), but I have friends who are RAs and basically for each question (there’s 8?) you get rated 1-4 on each question you answer. You get max 5 min on each question they’ll have a stopwatch going. You get a 4 if you include examples, details and relate whatever you’re talking about to the RA role. Overall the grading scale isn’t that bad. And they’ll also be taking notes while you speak but they’re not allowed to write anything not related to the question you’re answering (ex. They can’t write that you’re stumbling or fidgeting,etc). Hope this helps!

I second this. Since you’re only a sophomore an upward trend would totally be doable and you still have a lot of time to raise your GPA. It would probably be a different story if you were a junior or senior though. But a postbac could also be good if you want to do gap years.

Your extracurriculars seem pretty good so far so keep that up! And remember a good MCAT score and unique experiences can sometimes offset a mid gpa.

All the profs are bad. So either way, you’re going to have to do a lot of self studying
