What do graduate schools ask for interviews?
When graduate schools do their interviews, what kind of answers do they look for? I am applying to chiropractic school soon and would like to know what kinds of questions they ask! I am a rising senior at CCU and I have to start applying to graduate programs relatively soon!

It's been a long time for me, but here goes. I suppose they will ask about outside activities, experience in science/research, published papers, etc.
Be honest, they can always look up your history. However, you needn't volunteer so much. For example, I am looking for a position, but I won't volunteer that I am a recovering alcoholic. If I must, I will tell them the bare bones. Don't ramble, keep answers succinct and on point. Smile, firm handshake, I'm sure you know all of that. dress professionally, or maybe they only do virtual interviews, but on my virtual interviews, I still wore a jacket and tie.
I would do my homework on a chiro career. It can be rough. Don't be taken in by "Innate." It's metaphysical and unnecessary baggage. Familiarize yourself with Occam's Razor. and "Reductio ad Absurdum, and post-hoc errors. I've been around, and DCs seem to be the only ones with a scientific background who can't tell the difference between science and pseudoscience, for example, "energy" healing, homeopathy, muscle "testing" (aside from orthopedics), and the 100 or 200 "techniques" out there. I wish I could be more positive, but there are others besides me who would have chosen another path.
If you want to provide manipulative therapy, consider DO or PT school.

They will ask about prior research experience, skills and projects. Major findings from these projects. Career goals.
