[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I no longer do alum interviews. When I did, my most bombed question went something like this: "I will submit a summary of this interview to the admissions office. I'm sure you know that last year, [my alma mater] only admitted X% of applicants. Why do you think you should be one of that x%? This is your chance to tell me the pitch you'd like me to tell admissions on your behalf.Why should it choose you rather than another applicant?" I would estimate that only 1-2% of the students I interviewed could formulate an articulate response. I got a lot of answers like "I worked really hard in high school,' "I am a nice person,"etc. It's hard to toot your own horn, but college admissions is one time you need to do so. I guess some people would refer to this as an "elevator pitch" and it is sort of like that. [/quote] What a terrible question. [/quote]
