Ex-Harvard interviewer reveals the top 6 interview questions & how to ace them | College Lead

👍👍👍👍

Likability!!!

Is it not the subject of lawsuit against Harvard pending in US SC? Do interviewers still report that infamous attribute? BTW, Isaac Newton did more for humanity than all the Harvard grads from the beginning till today put together. Don’t be prejudiced with your opinions and destroy a brilliant potential future Newton with your privilege as an alumni interviewer.

thank you a lot! i have a Columbia interview today for which i made a SUPER huge research. hope it is going to be good!

For my Harvard interview, I was asked to draw an elephant based on my taking AP Art Studio (among dozens of other AP courses and a bunch of other extracurriculars). Not a joke.

I’m only 11, and I’ve already decided that Harvard is my dream college. Thank you so much! ☺️

Hey I’m from india. And the place where I live doesn’t have any alumni. They said the decisions come out in the end of March. should I volunteer to have an interview taken.

lol isaac newton went to cambridge though...AND he invented calculus so even though he didn't work well with others...he became a successful person and a legacy...so it might not be a bad thing to not be liked

Here are some red flags I've discovered as an interviewer of college applicants:
1. Not answering the invitation for an interview immediately and not agreeing on a schedule ASAP.
2. Not researching the college. . .
3. Not researching interview tips.
4. Not showing intellectual engagement outside the classroom.
5. Not showing excellence and leadership in extracurricular activities.
6. Making me really have to dig for information to put into my report.
7. Not making a convincing case that they really want to go to my college and have a lot to give to and gain from it.
8. Not having a coherent story linking academics, extracurriculars, values, goals, college expectations, etc.
9. Not having anything that really sticks out showing past performance and future potential and raising them above the general run of students who could do the work but don't offer anything special.
10. I won't even mention character flaws. I am talking about things involving good people, but who didn't go the extra mile to be competitive.

Hi,while u were doing research what was your work????(doing experiment,volunteering,writing etc)high school

This is very coincident. I am a homeschool mom, and I have a sophomore now, so I am at all in college admission these days. I will have to look into every video of your channel. It is very helpful. Thank you.

I wanna ask you a question. If I become an exchange student for one year in the USA (I'm from Southeast Europe), will it affect in any way positively or negatively my application for some Ivy universities, and would I be able to maybe take part in tournaments and join clubs like a regular student? Or is there anything I wouldn't be able to do, that can higher my chances of getting into university? If you don't know it's alright I just can't figure it out for some time, thank you.

THIS CHANNEL, WHY HAVENT PEOPLE DISCOVERED IT YET!! OMG THANK YOU!

This was really helpful. I have one question.
Is it possible to get a research internship(virtual) in the Fall??
