Interview with St. Lawrence and Hobart and William Smith

<p>I scheduled two off-campus interviews for St. Lawrence University and Hobart and William Smith Colleges during the Martin Luther King, Jr. weekend.</p>

<p>HWS's interview is on my birthday, January 15th. Oh, how lucky was I? Lol. Luckily, something told me not to schedule St. Lawrence's interview on my birthday (nerves and stress, maybe?), and I'm glad I didn't and got it for the 16th. </p>

<p>Back to back interviews. Oh boy, haha. </p>

<p>Does anyone have any tips to share, such as questions to watch out for? I plan to bring a copy of my transcript and my resume. </p>

<p>Any help (and heart-calming methods) would be greatly appreciated! Here are some stats if you are interested and would help to form a reply.</p>

<p>Stats:
Race: Black, specifically Afro-Carribean
Ethnicity: American born, Haitian background.
Hopefully majoring in: Biology</p>

<p>SATs (highest scores): 630 CR, 470 M (I know, I know), 500 W. ACT: Scores not available yet.</p>

<p>Class Rank: 12/120 (from 06/2010, after the marking period ended in Nov., I think it's higher... it better be... hopefully)</p>

<p>GPA: 91 unweighted. On a 4.0 scale: 3.7 (once again from 06/2010)</p>

<p>ECs: Chapter VP for Junior Statesmen of America (nationally student-run political organization);
Homeroom Rep. for Student Gov't.;
Student at SUNY Downstate Medical Center taking college-level general anatomy and physiology classes, formally known as the Science and Technology Entry Program (STEP);
Internship with the Geriatrics Psychology center at Downstate socializing with an Alzheimer's patient;
National Honor Society.</p>

<p>APs: U.S. History, Literature (junior year), Language (senior year). APs have recently been offered in my school about 5-8 years ago, from my knowledge, and I've taken all that my school currently offers.</p>

<p>Other college-level classes: Pre-Calc (with credits received from school partnership with St. John's University, along with AP Language); *Student at SUNY Downstate Medical Center taking college-level general anatomy and physiology classes.</p>

<p>*Note: I wrote about the SUNY class twice, because it's an after school activity, but we do have tests and transcripts.</p>

<p>**Note: St. Lawrence has a CSTEP, which is a collegiate version of the program I'm already in at SUNY Downstate Medical Center.</p>

<p>Be yourself. Treat it as a conversation rather than a sale’s pitch. Enjoy the complimentary cookies AFTER the interview. Good luck.</p>
