How Do You Make A Good Impression At A Private High School Interview?
Every year, many people in the eighth through eleventh grades apply to private high schools. Many of these schools are highly competitive. A lot of things count, including grades, test scores, extracurricular activities– and the interview. Here’s a basic list of things that’ll help you get through this crucial part of the admissions process. • Get plenty of sleep the night before, and eat a nutritious breakfast the morning of the interview. Don’t eat too much, but don’t skip out either. • Dress according to, but slightly nicer than, the school’s dress code. For girls, a nice skirt and blouse combo always works. For guys, a polo or a collared, button-down shirt with slacks should be fine. • Guys, brush your hair, apply deodorant (but not too much- you don’t want to smell strongly of Speed Stick and have it distract the interviewer from you speaking), and don’t slouch. • Girls, brush your hair. If you have bangs, you may want to pin them to the side so the interviewer can see your face
