I had a college interview at UCSD today. My interviewer is an alumi of the school I applied to and he is now a professor at UCSD. He is very nice and funny. The interview lasted for an hour but it felt like 15 minutes.
After a couple of interviews, I find that they are really low-key. It has little or even no effect on the chances to get in. It is just a very great opportunity for us to learn more about the school from those who actually attended. And it is a way for the school to know a little more about us beyond those numbers.
I have another interview scheduled tomorrow. Instead of being nervous, I am actually looking forward to it.
So for those of you who are having interviews, just relax and be yourself.
Here are the questions they might ask:
1. What are some extracurricular activities you are involved in? Which ones would you participate in college?
2. What's your favorite subject at school and why?
3. Where do you picture yourself in 10 years?
4. Why ____college?
5. Do you have any questions for me?
Wow! I didn't know that you had an interview with UCSD! I bet you did great!
