If you are nervous or don’t know what to expect during your interview, I thought I’d put some tips on here:

1.) Dress-up. If you have a suit and tie, wear it! I repeat, WEAR IT! Don’t even think that you are over-dressing. If you’re a girl, wear a nice and professional top. Also, if you have a cute necklace, wear it! But don’t wear too much jewelry.

2.) When they let you in the Zoom meeting, you are going to wait in the Zoom, and if it is your turn they will send you into a breakout room. The way they did the interview on the day of my interview was alphabetical by first name. If your name is Aaron, you are going to be interviewed first. If your name is Zyrtec, you’re gonna be interviewed last
and your name happened to be Zyrtec, your parents need to go to jail. :policewoman:t2:

hiii does anyone happen to know what Macaulay (specifically Hunter) will be looking at now in our applications now that we also had the interview? like will they be looking at the applications again just like before the interview or will they look at specific parts of it? hopefully this makes sense and good luck to everyone :))

71

did you already have your interview? mine is this week but I’m not sure what happens after

72

After your interview they don’t really contact you or anything, at least they didn’t contact me. I think the next this is to just wait for the decision which I believe comes out March 22. Good luck on your interview,

73

thank you! & if you don’t mind me asking, how was your interview?

74

My interview I think was good. I was nervous at first but then we just had a conversation. It’s really not bad.

I did and I think so did everyone but from my understanding the deadline passed already and if you apply now you’ll be considered after everyone. Can someone correct me if I’m wrong

88

omg yes. I did it tho. It was kind of easy. You need to write 5 300 word essays about different prompts. (I’m not sure if that goes for all 6 honors program because I only did the Yalow Scholar program.)

I think you’re right because they’re going on a rolling basis, which also means first come first serve.
