Just repeating a post of mine from a month ago or so - many of the same questions. These were after his two senator interviews:
I tried to make a list of what he could remember when I talked to him afterwards. Some questions he recalled were:
-Give an example of a time when you’ve failed
-Who is your inspiration?
-How have you prepared for the academy – academically, physically, mentally, and morally?
-What makes you different/better than the other candidates we’re interviewing?
-Why are you not interested in WP?
-Define leadership/give an example of when you’ve displayed leadership
-Tell us about your summer seminar experiences
-What do you want to major in? If you don’t attend an academy, what would you major in?
-What are your backup plans?
-What would you do if you were given an order to carry out that you thought was immoral?
-Where do you see yourself in 15 years?
-Do you have anything else you’d like to say to us?
Some comments on them...on the how have you prepared question, I guess he did the first three and didn’t answer the morally component. They came back to that one and asked him to answer it. He said each interview lasted about 30 minutes and was comprised of 9 “official” questions (three each from each of the three panel members), however, they each asked a lot of follow up questions (like the summer seminar one). He was a bit perplexed by the question about what he’d major in if he didn’t attend a SA after explaining his interest in engineering – probably aero, chemical or mechanical. When they asked the next one he said he wanted to answer, “Oh, if I DON’T go to an academy, then I’d major in art history” (or something similar). He was just like “Why would I change my major?” He felt he was asked the WP one as a combination of his parents going there and that he’d listed the other two (ie this wasn’t a planned question). At one of the interviews, the list of “formal” questions was on the table in front of him for him to glance at while answering all of them. He said he felt they were trying to get some answers and learn about him more than they were “testing” him. I did ask and he wasn’t asked any current event questions at all.
