University/ College Interview |
|
The 2nd phase of my university/ college application is well underway. I have been incredibly fortunate to be interviewed by some of my chosen universities, all of which went well (I think). I have spent long hours preparing for the interviews, which reflects how badly I want to study there... and my efforts definitely paid off! To be honest, I would not have otherwise bothered to go through the rigorous self-reflection, research process. I always want to go forward, rather than return to re-examine the process. The whole process of university/ college application (from writing essays to preparing for interviews) has been a recounting and reflection of my activities and achievements in junior college and secondary school. I resisted the process somewhat, because the past is a closed chapter, whilst the future lies endless unwritten ideas and possibilities... My eyes have been opened. In contemplating the past, I feel I have become better prepared for university studies. I see clearly my strengths and weaknesses, where my passions lie, and how I want to chart my future path. "If you don't history, you don't know anything. You are a leaf that does not know it is a part of a tree." To recap the interviews I had: A written timed online interview with Wake Forest University An alumni interview with Washington University in St. Louis ... Had a great chat with an extremely friendly alumnus who answered all my questions enthusiastically. I experienced college life vicariously. A phone interview with Hong Kong University of Science and Technology ... Had a mature interview with a polite and patient interviewer who spoke fluent English... Turns out she is a teaching assistant who knows four languages. Wow! Coming campus interview with University of Richmond in March My next interview will be in conducted on the campus of University of Richmond. I will be flying to Richmond, Virginia on March 17-19 for the Richmond Scholar Finalist visit! As one of the 100 Finalists, I am given admission and awarded the Presidential Scholarship! I have already booked the flight there (expense-paid!) I am so looking forward to meeting the faculty, seeing the campus and my fellow Finalists! This is truly a dream come true! :) Now to pack my luggage and also find a good camera for all the beautiful photos of Richmond I will be taking!
