I Was Waitlisted: What’s the Next Step?

Cayla Lowrey (18) said, I was fortunate enough to have the opportunity to interview for a Presidential Scholarship for my college (High Point University) in February. It was so much fun to get to meet all of the other Presidential Scholars and my future classmates. My interview was about a half an hour and a little nerve racking. I just tried to remember to be myself and to answer all of interviewers questions honestly and with excitement. My advice to students regarding interviews is to not over practice. You don’t want your answers to come off as rehearsed, you want to sound genuine but well thought out. I was at an advantage because my school actually provided a list of possible interview questions; I went through those a couple times and thought about the points that I really wanted to get across and mention in my interview. I also think that a very helpful tip is to think about the things you definitely want to mention no matter what and practice working them in to your answers. Overall my experience was great and my favorite part of this process was connecting with my future classmates.
