Mac Rob interview yr 10 entry

[GalacticProcess]

You're so smart and lucky. I tried out for Nossal year 11 entry and they said I was in the top 5. So I waited and waited and waited. Come November and my parents personally went to the school to ask and were told that there weren't any spots available, so no one had been accepted. I personally felt scammed, but I'm glad you had a good experience with this. Good luck!

My tip is for you is to be honest, but to choose your words carefully and think your answers through before you say it. If you need time to do this, a good way to buy time would be to repeat the question as a starting phrase, which will buy you another few seconds to formulate a good response to the question, while also making sure that you don't go off topic.

This is an example of what NOT to say:
"Why do you want to go to this school?"
"Because it's convenient for me."

That answer could've been the truth, but it wasn't getting at the point of the question. Always question why those questions are being asked; what are they trying to find out about you through those questions? If you understand the motivation behind their questioning, I'm sure you'll ace the interview.

That's a very unfortunate situation. At least you gained some experience from the exam. Great advice though!

Hey, If they ask why you would come to our school instead of yours, I currently go to a good private girls school (not on a scholarship) I don't have anything to say, any suggestion?

You can talk about things like facilities, like-minded peers and what not. This is a personal question and every person will have different reasons. The two that I have said are very common, and so you should think of genuine reasons of why you want to go to the school. It's important not to make up reasons.
