I have an interview scheduled with Johns Hopkins University and was hoping to get some advice on how to prepare effectively. What types of questions have people been asked in the past? Any tips would be helpful!
First off, it's important to note that Johns Hopkins University does not offer interviews as part of its admissions process. They believe that admission decisions can be made based on the materials submitted in the application itself, without the need for an interview. So, if you received an invitation for an "interview," it might be for a program within the university or an event run by a student organization.
If it's indeed for a specific program within the university, it's hard to predict the exact questions they might ask, but generally, the questions in such interviews often revolve around your interest in the program, previous experiences relevant to that field, and how you plan to contribute to the university community.
If it's an event conducted by a student organization or an informal chat with a student or alumnus, it's typically an opportunity for you to ask questions about campus life, clubs, classes, and the overall student experience.
Bottom line, if you're still unsure, it might be a good idea to reach out to the person who scheduled the interview for more clarification. This way, you can be better prepared for the conversation. Good luck!
