Emily K Seniors Ready for Admissions Interviews

Emily K seniors continued on their path toward college admission by participating in a Mock Interview Evening held at the Emily K Center. Armed with up-to-date resumes, each of the seniors went through four rounds of practice interviews with local professionals taking the part of admissions counselors.

After each interview the students received feedback and recommendations. “The most beneficial part of this process was giving our students permission to brag about themselves a little,” said Ashlea Hitchcock, Programming and Partnerships Coordinator,  “For years they have been taught to be humble, but for this occasion they need to communicate why they are special and why they will be an asset once they arrive on a college campus. It takes a bit of practice to do that well.”

Each of the seniors had prepared sample questions and answers for themselves beforehand and paid particular attention to dress and timeliness. “We’ve been working toward this time for years,” said Emily K senior, Brianna Azar, “We want to make sure that we’re really well prepared so that we will have the opportunities we’ve dreamed about.”  While the students took part in the interview exercise their parents were able to attend a financial aid program put on by the Center.

   I am so proud of our seniors — nine young women (coincidentally) who have a lot to offer the world!
