• Interview for US college applications

  • What is an overseas university interview? | Bashi Biyori ☀️

    • It’s okay as long as you can have a conversation with someone you don’t know, they say.
    • The purpose is to assess what kind of person you are through conversation.
    • There’s no need to be overly conscious of “I have to appeal my greatness and achievements to this person!”
    • Also, there’s no need to be overly conscious of “I have to appeal how polished I am as a person!”
    • It’s just one piece of the puzzle, so don’t stress too much about it.

  • Preparation

    • In terms of content, I feel like I can prepare using the strategies for University of Tokyo Recommendation Interview and Yanai Foundation Interview.
    • I’m more worried about doing it in English.
      • Come to think of it, I’ve never done an English interview before.
        • Should I ask a teacher for practice?
          • John, Mr. Tan,
          • Maybe Sharma for a moderate level of scariness?
        • Or is it better to ask a mentor who has experience?
      • Well, maybe it’s important not to have too much fear.
  • If I have prepared things to talk about, I might be able to forcefully connect them when I’m at a loss for questions.
