<p>I have a phone interview scheduled with St. Paul's for next week. Any suggestions?</p>
<p>Thanks,
Jonathan</p>
<p>We recently had a live and in person SPS interview. Our interviewer told us they did not ask many questions about academic performance - thought the application would speak for itself on that. Because they are 100% boarding students can be involved in a variety of things. The clubs, drama, music, etc. all takes place in the evening and so you CAN do a sport and be in a play (which is different from many other boarding schools, some make you chose). They are looking for students who are wanting to be involved in lots of different things. Not that necessarily have experience in a vast number of activities, but are willing to give them a try and be a member of the community. During our parent interview we were told that they try to get a feel for if the student will be one to get involved.</p>
<p>i just sent you a PM with everything that happened to me. good luck!</p>
<p>I just finished my interview with St. Paul's.. about 4 hours ago. I met the Senior Associate Director of Admissions here at Santa Ana, California. The interview I had was great; she asked me questions about the thoughts I had of a good boarding school, what I did for extracurricular activities, clubs, and it was mostly a conversation. Just like what Linda said, SPS is a 100% boarding school, so you are able to participate in various activities. If you have specific questions, PM me.</p>
<p>Sounds like taeyoung's interviewer focused on the same thing - they want to find out if you are the kind of student who will get involved in lots of activities. And yes, my son's was an easy conversation as well he said.</p>
