What's the purpose of having an interview anyways?
Answers:
An acceptance interview serves several purposes so the questions can cover a lot of different things. They want to see how commited you are to going to college, how well you'll fit with the type of students they have already, if you have career goals ... lots of thing.
Questions may relate to how you spend your free time. Do you do volunteer work appropriate to your chosen course of study? Do you veg out? (are you a goal driven maiac or lazy)
How do you spend time with friends?
Shows how you might fit into the student body or if you might be at odds with the general student population. Shows if you are a leader or a follower. Schools don't always want too many leaders nor do they want people who can't think independently. Everyone is a mix - what's your mix?
Why did you choose this school?
Do you have a reason or are you following someone's advice?
What are you career goals? What do you want to do with your education?
Lots and lots of different things get asked. There are no right answers. There are BAD answers but there are no right ones. (I want to go here because I hear it's a party school and you can get drunk ever night. That's a bad answer.
Isn't Devry one of those schools that just accepts anybody? I think your interview is just for them to learn what classes or majors are suitable for you.
I've never been interviewed for a college .
I have read about them though so all you need to do is sound smart and get them to see who you are and that you are a good student. Dress nicely and smile, that is my best advice.
lol Devry is not a college it is for people that are too stupid to go REAL colleges.
I've never had to interview with any of the state universities I've attended. . . but I guess the school can have you jump through whatever reasonable hoops that they want you to.
My advice: RELAX. Seriously. I know that's not easy (lots of personal experience as a nervous person speaking), but you will sound a lot better if you can just take the questions as they come rather than trying to sound like you're just reading off some invisible cue cards or the like. Have a mental list of things you'd like to say about yourself and why you'd like to go there ready in case the opportunity presents itself, but that's as far as I'd really go if it were me.
You're going to answer questions during this interview however you answer them whether you're nervous or not. . . so why be nervous about it? :)
