Good job on your interview, Nobleboy! You certainly worked for it.

I was invited to an interview in my area as well (oh, just a one-hour drive in the rain each way), but I didn’t qualify. The panel asked me the JFK quote question first, which threw me off since I hadn’t expected such… unique questions. The other ones asked about “three criteria you used to select colleges and to which did you apply to,” “if you could be asked one question what would it be and why,” and “tell us a joke” (that one was the weirdest, but the easiest to come up with an answer for). I wish I had practiced because I was so nervous that I stumbled and paused a lot. >_< And I really needed the money. Oh well. I’m going to try to send the panel a thank you letter tomorrow.

I heard that if the students who make it to finals decide not to go to UCLA, the alumni association will give the scholarship to someone else. Maybe someone can clarify this. Or anyone who didn’t go to finals can just wait and see.
