How’d you guys do?
@codeit do on what?
@MiraD1 half of the finalists had their interviews this past weekend. I think @codeit is asking how those finalists did and felt about the experience.
Did anyone have their interview already?
How were interviews for today?
Regional Finalist from Utah. I just had my skype interview and it went really well! It was pretty casual and made me feel very comfortable talking with them. It was like a conversation instead of an interview. They can ask any questions in their interviews so what they asked me might not be what they ask someone else.
@dIAMondDRAGON2 What was the conversation centered around? Your essay responses? Did they ask you why you would be an asset to their foundation?
@APersonsHistory they asked me things about both my essays and general application. They did ask why they should pick me as a National Finalist and what my future plans were. They want to see that you have a dedication towards lifelong learning, leadership, and service.
They will ask you if you have any questions for them so come prepared with a few.
Now the interviews have been concluded, I wish you all the best. Results will be out by Friday! (Which is pretty fast.)
ahh hopefully they come out sooner
they came out wednesday last year
I need to find something to distract myself until Friday! So nervous AHHHHH
If you log on the semifinalist portal if you’re a regional finalist, is the information about interviews still there or did it disappear for everyone?
I think that’s for everyone!
Everything disappeared for me as well.
They’re probably setting up everything on the website for the Scholars.
Do you guys think they already made decisions?
That would be really quick decision making. I wouldn’t get my hopes up for notification before Wednesday earliest though. Is there a way when decisions are made that scholars can communicate with one another?
They’ll probably post all the names, like they did for Semis and Finalists. I wouldn’t be surprised if they created a Facebook group or something too.
When I had my interview, they told me they would be annoucing on Monday or Tuesday
Wow that fast?! Did you interview with laquanda? @collegequest9844
