<p>Hey guys,
I am a semi-finalist for the morehead-cain</p>
<p>Anyone from years past--- how was the interview/ any advice?</p>
<p>I heard it's pretty laidback, but I'm nervous... this scholarship is an amazing opportunity</p>
<p>I see you are OOS, so I believe this means that you have a phone interview next - right? The best advice you will hear all through this process is … be yourself. I’m sure you’ve read about the MC and you know that they are looking for genuine kids. They will ask you things from your application. Be prepared to discuss those items. Relax, smile and be the smart, energetic, passionate young woman it appears you are from your stats. (Found them on another string 
)</p>
<p>Know your strengths and weaknesses and be prepared to discuss them. Expect questions from your essays and about your extracurricular activities. Most importantly, know how to tie your interview answers to the four criteria they are looking for: leadership, scholarship, moral force of character, physical vigor.</p>
<p>Also, have some idea of how you might like to use the scholarship. You obviously don’t have to have figured out what you want to do on each of the Morehead summers, but some general themes for areas you might like to explore would be good.</p>
