<p>My letter came today!
My interview for the scholarship was last Friday and I got the letter telling me that I was accepted to be a Chancellor’s Scholar today!! I was super excited!!! Hopefully, I can be of help to anyone who is still in the process of interviews!</p>
<p>The first half-hour is spent with a University Honors student. I really liked my student and we shared common interests (Biochem Major, Research, Parties) so it went really well.</p>
<p>The next hour was spent with the Dean. When I interviewed, the Dean was absent, so I talked with a former physics professor instead. It was very laid back and somewhat fun, which I did not expect. I absolutely abhor Physics, but we spoke about the Higgs boson, the invention of the internet, and his sons. </p>
<p>Afterwards, it was the main interview. I was really relaxed, and the interview was meant to be a “flowing discussion.” My interviewers went over almost everything I was passionate about: my six year old brother, my Forensics team, my bass clarinet, etc. At one point, I was basically delivering a rant on how North Korea is like a puppy in the middle of a kennel. I had fun during that interview 
One of my interviewers was texting during the interview so I thought I’d pretty much lost any hopes of getting the scholarship, but apparently not! They did give me a book pertaining to my major, which was very sweet. </p>
<p>I’m still in utter shock. The letter came much faster than I expected, particularly because my interviewers made it very clear the decisions would come around April 11th. Well, at least my waiting game is over Good luck to future interviewees!</p>
