Failing to Admit Minor Issues May Result in NYPD Disqualification. One of the major pitfalls many candidates make is failing to admit to minor issues.

One example of a minor issue is doing poorly when you first enter college. When transitioning from high school to college, some candidates end up on academic probation. If you go to an oral psychological interview and deny poor performance in college, you will find yourself dealing with bigger problems then if you had just been honest. The interviewing psychologist already has your school transcript, so denying academic probation will only create a bigger problem causing you to be disqualified. Do not let fear and the uncertainty about how your personal history may be evaluated cloud your judgment – remember that honesty is always the best policy.

As a candidate, you should get your transcript before the interview so you know exactly what you did and when you did it. If you did poorly in the beginning, or at some point during college, it is better to say “I really should have studied harder and I regret not doing so”, than to lie. Your admission is always better than denying responsibility, or saying you don’t recall or saying that’s not what really happened.

You may have stressors such as work, transportation problems, problems at home or other struggles. The denial of poor academic performance is really unnecessary and will only get you disqualified.

The Interviewing Psychologist has your college records in writing, so saying you don’t recall or denying your record, or lying about your GPA will only lead to your disqualification.

Get the facts before your interview. Telling the truth and showing that you have remorse and have learned from your past struggles can only work in your favor.
