Nervous!! Big interview coming up...

<p>Hey! I just found out that I was a finalist for a pretigious scolarship at my in-state school that would cover my tuition, board, books, and provide a lot of extra incentives. It seems like a pretty good deal and I am extremely happy to be one of the finalists. I had to do a required essay and now am preparing for an interview conducted by a scholarship board of around 25 people. </p>

<p>To be quite honest, I am terrified. They have my resume, but I don't know what could come up. What should I expect and prepare for?</p>

<p>I’d imagine that they are wondering what makes you tick. Are you really a hungry academic? Are you involved with others and can benefit them from your talents. Are you aware of the community and its needs around you? Or are you self absorbed, stand offish and perhaps an intellectual snob.</p>
