I'm not old enough to apply for a college, but I am applying for a high school! My interview is tomorrow and these last minute notes are really helping me out! Thank you so much!! I have a better understanding of this question now

If you’re going into healthcare and say your passion is helping people make sure to expand on why healthcare is your choice of helping. You can help people in many ways but why healthcare specifically? If you’re a public health major maybe say you have the passion for protecting people through laws. Be specific.
Good luck! I know you’ll do great

Thankfully I found this two hours before my interview. I practised this for a couple minutes and made sure that my train of thought is organised.

I hope the best for everyone prepping for an interview; make sure to do something that’ll calm you down beforehand (listen to music, eat a nice meal or snack etc). You got this!

And thank you for your videos ❤️

All i want to say is thank you so much for this video, i had an interview last week for a prestigious business school and she asked :
Tell me about your self .
I did what was told in the video about the business section (with my real experiences of course) ...
she said :
Thank you for this presentation.
The first impression was really good, and a day after they called me and i got the admission for the program .

Like seriously the interviewer was as so happy to hear I was passionate about what I was going into for and really like the background and foundation I have and said “I can tell you have that passion and drive to go forward and get through it.” I think it’s in the bag. 👍🏼 thank you very much bro
