<p>Hey guys! </p>

<p>I've fell in love with Holy Cross' campus and their approach in education. I've visited them twice and planning on doing an interview. I am still confused on if I have even a chance of acceptance to Holy Cross. </p>

<p>Here are some info about my workload: </p>

<p>SATs: 1800> they were so low, not planning on submitting them. I have been prepping everyday, hopefully they will go up by October </p>

<p>-NHS Tutoring Director
-2 internships at a hospital
-volunteer at local animal shelter, local supply organization, and hospital (over 100+ hours)
-captain of a computer science program </p>

<p>I don't know if this will help with the decision process:
-low income, single mom household, first generation, and English wasn't my first language (I'm Asian)</p>

<p>My coursework does show that I've been challenging myself (taking academic risks). I will be taking calculus II senior year which only consists of 8 people. </p>

<p>Thank you in an advance! :) </p>

<p>Everything you’ve put sounds pretty good. I didn’t submit my SAT/ACT since mine were low. I was ranked 19/180 and had a 3.98 cumulative gpa. If you aren’t sending in your scores you probably would need to have a pretty high GPA and at least be in the top 20% of your class. Also, work a lot on the supplement they’ll give you and visit if you get the chance. When I visited the admissions officer emphasized the interview and its importance so very much prepare for that. </p>

<p>For the interview dress business casual and ill just copy and paste what I put on another interview post for Holy Cross.</p>

<p>Hey I did an interview with Holy Cross and was admitted in March. My interview lasted about an hour and I prepared with these questions:</p>

<p>Tell me about yourself.
Why are you interested in Holy Cross? (spent awhile on this)
What will you contribute to the college?</p>

<p>Prepare questions for the interviewer and I’d recommend using these links:</p>

<a href=“College Interview Questions You Should Master”>http://collegeapps.about.com/od/theartofgettingaccepted/tp/interview-for-college.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

<p>Kind of just read the question and bullet point ideas of what to say, not necessarily memorizing answers. The interview I had was a casual conversation outside a Starbucks. I had an easy time since my interviewer and I are both concert junkies and connected easily.</p>
