jpinAL Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 My dd has two interviews for 2 different specialty tracks within the Honors College to which she's been accepted. We've been doing mock interviews but these will be her first real ones. Please suggest some possible questions. Thank you Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daijobu Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 (edited) Pick up some college application guide books from your library. I'm finding that they include long lists of interview questions for undergraduate applicants that might apply to scholarship applicants as well. ETA: Make sure your student has some good questions for the interviewer as well. (Such questions can also be found in the books mentioned above.)
