InitialView interview

Colleges and Universities A-Z Carnegie Mellon University
1

Hi I’m an international student, I applied to CMU and they strongly recommend for me to take the initial view English interview. It’s not an alumni interview it’s more of to see whether I can read and write in English or not. What sort of questions do they ask and how should I prepare for it?

Hi, you if have not taken it yet, here are some of the questions they might ask:

  1. Tell me about yourself/your school
  2. Tell me about your leadership experience/extracurriculars
  3. What’s your fav class?
    Basically you just need to the basic application materials, but sometimes there will be trick questions, and often they are linked to your previous response. E.g. if you say that you like history class the best, he/she may ask, “where and when in history do you want to go back to?”
    I’m also taking InitialView next week!
    GOOD LUCK!
