- SELL YOURSELF.
- START EARLY.
- GO TO SCHOOL INFORMATION SESSIONS.
- ALWAYS HAVE QUESTIONS READY FOR THE END OF THE INTERVIEW. (Common interview questions: "Tell us about yourself/Tell us your story." "How do you deal with disappointment?" "What is the biggest challenge you have had to overcome?" "What does a typical weekend look like for your family?" "What are your hobbies/passions?" "Why [School Name]?")
- MAKE YOUR ESSAYS MEMORABLE/INTERESTING. (Don't talk about cliched essay topics like "The Big Game/Drama Debut" or "My Travel Experience/Mission Trip")
WEBSITE THAT HELPS YOU WRITE ESSAYS:
The Most Dangerous Writing App. Encourages you to freewrite without thinking about phrasing, structure, or grammar. If you stop writing, the session ends and your work is exported to a Word document. Super helpful, already use it for English class.
