Tips on how to answer these interview questions?

Applying to College
1

I’m not really sure how to answer the following interview questions.

“Is there anything that you did not share in your application that you would like to share now” - I can’t seem to answer this without talking about why I want to attend this college, which is a question they’ll probably ask me beforehand. But will it be frowned upon if I reply with a “No”? Or is this question only suitable to be answered by people who had some special condition, like a physical disability or a parent death that affected their freshman year grades?

“What is the most important thing you want the admissions committee to know about you” - Again, it just seems so easy to repeat your answer of why you want to attend this college. Either that, or you start praising yourself. Should I reiterate my interest in the school or talk about what I can offer the school (again, another question the interviewer will probably have already asked me) or what?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!

I think the what is the most important thing you want admissions to know about you includes the most important thing to you while not being generic. You can say that you’re hardworking but you need to prove it with a story or such. You can definitely slip in why you want to go there without being like “pick me pick me!”. I think if you sell yourself well enough, they’ll know that through your experience in that time, you can offer this to their college.
