Can you guys share some examples of typical university interview questions? I'd like to practice answering them before my own interview and get a sense of what to expect.
Sure, I'd be happy to share some commonly asked university interview questions. Here they are:
1. Can you tell me a little about yourself?
2. Why are you interested in our university?
3. Why did you choose the major you've applied for?
4. What high school classes have you enjoyed the most and why?
5. Can you tell me about a time you overcame a challenge?
6. How do you balance your time and manage your schoolwork, extracurricular activities, and other commitments?
7. Who or what has been the biggest influence on your life and why?
8. What accomplishment are you most proud of and why?
9. How will you contribute to our college community?
10. How do you envision your college experience?
Don't forget to be genuine and speak confidently. Remember, this is your opportunity to show your passion for the university and the major you've chosen. Also, interviewers often end with "Do you have any questions for me?" So, prepare some thoughtful questions about the university or your chosen field of study. Good luck!
