Re: Dean's List advice
I was the mentor in the room when one of our students was being interviewed last year. From what I saw they will ask questions based off of the essay, but if you have done more, absolutely build on it in your answers. Remember that Dean's List Finalists and Winners are the future ambassadors of FIRST so they want to know not only what you have done, but why FIRST matters to you.
Often times the nominees are students who are quite altruistic so the one thing I will say to them is to remember that though you were doing what you did to be nominated on behalf of the team, they are still YOUR accomplishments. The interview is not the time to be humble, be proud of what you did.
