If they consider the Bay Area to be one market, then I already got my interview. If not, I have no idea.
Can I ask which county you are applying for?
did anyone apply from jacksonville? idk if that market does interviews or not considering it is small. if so, when did you get your email?
Marin County
Okay, thanks!
anyone from the Silicon Valley market (San Mateo/Santa Clara counties) hear anything? does this market do interviews?
Wow im so surprised that they’re contacting this early. Did anyone receive any contact from the Northern New Jersey Market?
What days are the student leadership summit supposed to be this year?
hey guys, i received an email yesterday for an interview. how competitive is the sf/oakland market? does anyone know how many people they normally choose to interview? i’m terrible with interviews and don’t have much experience with them, so i’m super nervous!
also, how many people are selected per market?
20 people are chosen to interview and only 5 will be selected for the program per market. I’m not sure how competitive it is there but since it’s California I would take the interview seriously. Past threads have interview advice scattered everywhere. My best advice is to be friendly and treat it as a conversation. I heard that that approach works well.
ahhh I am so nervous…
Does anyone know how many people applied this year in the SF market? If my math is correct, with a 3.6% acceptance rate, that’s around 500 people. I feel like that has to be too many though.
@william552 thanks for the info!
@malaalenase i mean, that sounds about right, given that’s the acceptance rate. when is your interview? mine’s tomorrow, i’m super nervous. i’m planning on practicing a load tonight.
Mine is Tuesday, how are you preparing? I too haven’t done too many interviews, so I don’t know what to expect. Let me know how it is! like the general vibe and stuff.
Anybody hear from Atlanta?
@malaalenase i was planning on doing mock interviews with my sister so i can practice what i might say. i heard it’s more along the lines of, “tell me about yourself” and “why would you like to become a student leader,” so hopefully it won’t be too bad? i hope so anyway. i’m awful at interviews, but we’ll see…
@teddysheeran what grade are you in? I’m a junior.
@tsm1250 i’m also a junior.
