    I had a question. My older sister, who got into the University of Michigan, told me that you have to boast your talents all the while being modest and humble. How do I show off my good traits to impress them without coming off as cocky? Please help me.

    Benefit of being a mature student. Just wax lyrical about the years at sea and totally de-rail the interview.

    So Princeton emailed me at the beginning of February saying that they wanted to interview me and to be expecting an email from the interviewer. After about 2 weeks, I heard no response so I emailed them asking when I should hear from my interviewer. They told me that the interview can happen at any time and they must just not have enough time (my interviewer is a heart surgeon). Should I be worried that I didn’t get and interview or not since I was still offered one?

      +Ben Martin - Do not freak out. Admissions understands conflicting schedules and that not everyone can do an interview. "Don't be concerned if interviews are not available in your area; we will give your application full consideration without an interview."

    Next friday is my interview with a Yale Alumni; and it's my first ever interview. What suggessions do you give for someone who typically stutters and jumbles up words when they are nervous?

    • @ProfessorBernstein
      @ProfessorBernstein  10 лет назад +39

      That is a great question! I highly recommend that you talk to yourself. Don't just prepare things to say; actually practice saying them. Some people like to have "mock interviews" with teachers, family, or friends, but I've never found them particularly useful. I do better when I just talk to myself while going for a walk and even right before interviews (but not where interviewers could hear you :-0)). If your nerves kick in (which they will), you will have the benefit of having already practiced some version of what you're saying. You can go a little bit on auto-pilot. Also, be real! An interview is meant to be a genuine conversation so you can give yourself a moment to answer and even revise what you're saying. I hope this helps and good luck!

    Does family background play into the admissions process? Um let's say my family's past is, dramatic. Would this play into my admissions chances?

    • @ProfessorBernstein
      @ProfessorBernstein  10 лет назад +1

      Let me start by saying that most schools are focusing on your transcript, standardized test scores, meaningful contributions to extracurricular activities (including work), recommendations, and application. I'd need to know more about what you mean by a dramatic family past to give you a real answer. You can go to my website and on the left-hand side, you'll see a green button that says "Question." Send me a message if you want some feedback.

    Is it bad to say that I like the research opportunities at a school and not go into a lot of detail? (All schools have research opportunities...) I did say the top of the field professors though...

    • @thiagogregory1
      @thiagogregory1 4 года назад

      It is bad. "Top of the field professor" is basically also mentioning ranking.

    how important does an interview play in the admission process of a liberal arts (not too selective though)? Can it make or break my application

    • @ProfessorBernstein
      @ProfessorBernstein  7 лет назад

      It depends on the school and probably won't "make or break" your application. If you ask a more specific question, I can respond in greater detail.
