Hey there everyone. So, I've got a few college interviews coming up and I'm attempting to prepare as best as I can. I'm at a loss as for what type of questions they could ask. Would anybody be able to help me by maybe providing a list of common questions you've encountered in your interviews? Thanks!
Absolutely, I'd be happy to help you prepare for your interviews! Here are some common college interview questions:
1. Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?
2. Why are you interested in this college/university?
3. What is your favorite academic subject and why?
4. Can you discuss a recent event or topic that you've learned from?
5. Do you have any leadership roles or experiences in your school or community?
6. Can you elaborate on a challenging situation you've faced and how you overcame it?
7. Is there a particular person or event that has greatly impacted your life?
8. What are your plans after graduation? Do you have a specific career path in mind?
9. Is there anything about our school that concerns you?
10. Do you have a book or film that has had a significant impact on you? How did it affect you?
Always remember, your responses should reflect your authentic self. Avoid common responses and clichés, as the aim of the interviewer is to get a sense of your personality and your unique perspective. Good luck with your interviews!
