<p>Does anyone know what the interview process is? I've heard you sit before a panel of 5 or so people, but i'm not sure. What kinds of questions do they ask?</p>
<p>Also, how many people are selected to interview vs how many win in the end?</p>
<p>I think you only interview w/one person actually, but not everyone gets the same person, so they kinda "fight" for their preferred candidate. At least that's how a friend of mine had it (San Diego region), maybe each region is different?</p>
<p>The point is to emphasize leadership, not academics. Don't go in there talking about your SAT scores. ;-)</p>
<p>Each region is different. My friend had a panel of six people, I had two panels of two people each, so it can vary. 250 win in the end, don't know how many actually get the interview, but 2000+ people apply for it. The questions asked are pretty straightforward (leadership experiences, who you are, why Cal, why you want the scholarship, etc).</p>
<p>I live in San Francisco and haven't gotten an e-mail or a call yet. There's still time, right?</p>
<p>You should have gotten an email informing you that you were a finalist. So the answer to your question is no.</p>
<p>I have gotten an e-mail informing that I am a finalist. However, it said that I would be called or e-mailed for an interview. Sorry for the confusion but that is the correspondence that I have yet to receive.</p>
<p>Rick, I got an email already. and another person at Lowell got the same interviewer (at the same time -_-). I'm sure the email is coming soon.</p>
<p>I am having my interview for the Orange County area.</p>
<p>I'm asked to have 2 copies of my submitted application, but I don't have any copy at all!!! I don't even remember what was on the application. I don't know what to do!</p>
<p>Orange County...have gotten email for finalist, but no email or phone call about interview.</p>
<p>kimx, did they call or email you?</p>
<p>They emailed me about finalist status last week and emailed me a time for the interview this morning. I couldn't make the Saturday, April 19th interview in Irvine, so they actually emailed me with an alternate date.</p>
