Deans List Interview

[Carolyn_Grace]

I would love to hear from students who were interviewed last week.
What questions did the judges ask you?
Did you receive a feedback form after the interview like they do for CA?

How much emphasis is placed on STEM things that you do outside of FIRST?

Study the essay that was submitted. Start with that. If you were nominated buy your mentors you are already a winner in the eyes of your team. The rest if you win is gravy on the potatoes so to speak. You might not be the best in the eyes of strangers but you are the best amongst the people that know you. That's a very good thing. Hold your head high.

I agree.
I think we're really hoping for some more information here though.

Anytime there's a procedure at FIRST events, it's nice when people from weeks 1 and 2 competitions an share their experiences.

A few specific questions that I have:
1. Did students sign up for a time-slot the way you do with Chairman's Award interviews?
2. How many judges were in the interview room?
3. Was feedback about the essays/interviews given in anyway?

I was interviewed just recently

1. Yes, the interviews were on Friday. Much like chairman's.
2. Two
3. There may have been feedback, I haven't seen it yet if there was some.

As for questions they used your submission as a guide. It was pretty generic and they let you lead the direction of the conversation. Questions like "What is your role on the team?" and "How do you spread the message of FIRST?" was more the focus of my interview, but I suspect that they want to talk about whatever you guide the conversation towards.

1. Yes
2. 2
3. Feedback sheets are available at pit administration after awards, just like Chairmans.
