Comment on What kind of interview questions would i get for applying to…? by Babs897

Usually, for the community jobs, there is a team interviewing you to get a feeling for your ability to handle yourself. They will do a criminal background check also. I really don't know how you prepare other than have your family sit facing you and throw questions at you. Then, you look squarely at them and answer. The community center won't want an irresponsible person or strange type working with children in any capacity. So, you have to be very confident and soft spoken. Also, I have noticed that when it comes to working with children in summer jobs, the staff is quite lenient, so if it is like that in your community, then, stick to that persona. Check out the pools or classes ahead if you can to see their philosophy. That way, you will have an idea about what they are seeking in personnel.

YOU SHOULD HAVE GIVEN YOUR UNWEIGHTED GPA BUT YOUR CREDENTIALS LOOK GOOD. I’D SAY YOU HAVE A PRETTY GOOD CHANCE OF GETTING IN. YOUR MAJOR WEAKNESSES ARE YOUR GPA AND TEST SCORES. YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 3.85 UNWEIGHTED (4.85 WEIGHTED) TO BE A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR ADMISSION AND A 3.95 (4.95 WEIGHTED) TO BE A GREAT CANDIDATE. YOU NEED AT LEAST A 2100 ON THE SAT AND YOU DIDN’T MENTION THE ACT? YOU SHOULD TAKE THAT AS WELL. ALSO, YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 3 SUBJECT TEST SCORES TO SUBMIT.

MAKE SURE YOUR ESSAYS REFLECT YOUR BIGGEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS BECAUSE MANY PEOPLE WILL NOT READ SUCH A LONG LIST OF ACTIVITIES AND MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SOLID RECOMMENDATIONS!

It's really hard to say, as there's thousand of valedictorian students with near perfect SAT scores who have done as much as you have and still get rejected every year. Ultimately it comes down to your essay, recommendations, and pure luck.

You seem like a strong candidate clearly. The only place to focus on is your test scores since these are on the lower end for Princeton.

The thing to keep in mind is that there are lots of kids who are at the top of their class, have great scores, and are very involved. Top schools are looking for you to stand out from the crowd through your other achievements. You’ve been in lots of clubs, but sometimes, this can hurt you because it looks like you’re just getting involved, but that you’re not necessarily showing deep commitment and leadership within one cause.

In your application, you will want to highlight an area where you’ve really made a huge impact. Schools want to see this because that increases the likelihood that you’ll also have a big impact on the campus and in your career (which will then reflect positively on the campus.)

I think your focus needs to be on putting together an application that helps you stand our and showcases what makes you different from all of the other high achievers that you’re competing with.

Good luck!
