Preparing for a college interview overseas can be daunting. Fortunately, Yuno Learning has you covered. Learn the secrets to unlocking your dream
With the ever-increasing competition to reach the best college or university especially in a foreign land, the authorities are making it even more challenging to select the niche. This might sound a bit scary but with a little smartness and understanding of their requirements, you can easily sail through. The heavy words like leadership, hard-working, disciplined, etc. no longer charm the interviewers. So if you are still rolling around listing your achievements like the captain of the team, monitor, school competition winner, and so on, you need to stop right away and make a diversion!!
Let’s check out the 7 crucial things that can help you land in your dream college. And it is not any random list but shared by our English speaking experts who have helped hundreds to fulfill their dream.
- Proper research about the college/university you are applying for & know what you want from it: Before you sit in front of the interviewer, do your homework well and learn about its teachers, connect with alumni via Facebook groups, and understand its philosophy, infrastructure, facilities. More importantly, take a deeper plunge and find a good reason ‘why you see yourself in that particular college and why you deserve it?’ Make sure not to speak essays to them, and be precise and informative.
- Good internet connectivity and background: In an online interview, you will approximately have 20 mins to show your worth to them. Don’t waste that time by sitting in a bad network zone. Also, dress up nicely and sit straight on a chair by placing the computer on a table so that they can see your upper body. Make sure your background is neat and plain, the idea is to keep their continuous focus on you.
- Practice well: Don’t make the mistake of directly sitting in front of the interviewers on the first go. Have multiple rounds of practice interviews with experts who can guide you with the most probable questions and their best answers. If you are looking for world-class exposure on interviews, do reach out to Yuno Learning experts who have helped hundreds to succeed in their online interviews.
- Make them see the real you: As discussed earlier, the buzz words like ‘winning competitions’, ‘learning experience’ won’t work. At most, you will have 20 minutes to prove your zeal and show them the real you. So don’t create fancy stories instead talk more about yourself and your passions.
- Talk about your college/university: You can break the ice by talking more about the college/university you have applied for. What do you want out of this college, what you like about the college, reflect on your present experience and the things you liked and missed in high school. Talk about how your desired college will help you in fulfilling your long-term goals and so on. Once you break that ice and make a connection with the interviewers, it will be easier for you to talk more about yourself.
- Show them you are capable and self-dependent: One of their biggest concerns is that if you will be able to take care of yourself in a foreign land, and that too all by yourself. Show them that by talking about your experience that you are responsible and self-sufficient. Reveal them your capability to handle yourself.
- Do not pretend: Last but of course not least, do not pretend to be someone who you are not. They will test your individuality and opinions so don’t agree to everything they say and at the same time don’t counter their every statement as well. Make a balance and be confident. They would really like to know the real you and don’t shy away from that.
