<p>My D was just invited to participate in a scholarship weekend at a private university. The invitation mentioned a brief summary of activities that includes a faculty appointment, interviews, and the opportunity to stay with a current scholarship student. What advice do you have for my D, other than be prepared, dress appropriately, and don't end up doing anything that would get you into trouble?</p>
<p>Realize that she'll be being evaluated at all times, including during social activities. The people in charge of the scholarship also will asking university students to give their impressions of her. She shouldn't do or say anything to anyone that she wouldn't want the scholarship committee to learn about.</p>
<p>My DDs just returned from a similar weekend. Here is their advice: Certainly put your best foot forward. Think about yourself, your accomplishments and goals before you go. Be able to talk about yourself...it's hard for many of us. But above all else, be yourself. Trying to be something that you are not will show through. Have fun and good luck!</p>
<p>Take a few minutes to read over the submitted application materials - particularly resume and essays. If your D submitted the app last fall, she needs to review it - the interviewers are looking at it now. Also if she wants to update her resume have her do so and take the update with her.</p>
