So that you don’t have to experience drama like this,
Let’s first look at the reasons that could make you fail the interview!
Rejected for a scholarship because you couldn’t answer questions during the interview? It’s really annoying for sure!!
So, here are some reasons why, already at the last stage, namely the interview stage, you failed to get a scholarship at your dream university.
1. Wrong Answer When Introducing Yourself
Is there anyone who, if asked to introduce themselves during an interview, only answers their name, place of residence, and age?
You really have to pay attention.
When the interviewer asks this, you must answer completely. For example, you can tell about your experiences at school, your achievements, your activities, etc.
Don’t let this mistake destroy your dream of getting a scholarship…
2. Not finding out about your major or destination campus
Before the interview, make sure you have a clear understanding of the campus and major you are interested in.
Don’t let it be thought that you are not serious when asked about your major or campus, because you don’t know at all or just answer casually.
If it happens because we don’t know anything about the major or campus we are going to, then we are completely silent when asked… Wow.. That’s really a nightmare, isn’t it!
3. Lack of or No Exercise
The report card was sufficient, the file had passed, and the essay had also been accepted, but at the interview it failed because of something trivial: “lack of practice”.
Don’t let yourself practice less or not practice at all. Always consistent practice will increase your confidence during interviews.
Don’t regret not practicing. Also find out what questions are usually asked during scholarship interviews.
4. Don’t Have a Mentor
Did you know that? If most people are successful, they definitely have a mentor, so that someone can correct their mistakes.
This includes passing the scholarship test, if you have a mentor, you will be taught, guided and practiced together so that you can carry out this interview test smoothly and without being nervous.
