I am thrilled to have advanced to the semifinals of POSSE. Do any of you make it through POSSE, meaning you received the scholarship and are now a member of POSSE? That is something I’m curious about and would like to ask this group. If so, do you guys have any tips for the second round interview? Additionally, if anyone attends one of the schools (for POSSE NYC), please leave a comment because I have questions because I know that students’ experiences aren’t always reflected or truly shown when asking admissions officers. Thank you so much!!.

Applied online and was invited to a virtual group interview. We started in the large group to do introductions, then we were separated into small groups. In each group, two staff members sit in and ask a variety of questions to which you have about 30-45 seconds to answer. Someone else on here posted ALL of the questions they asked, which helped me immensely so I’ll post them as well! Overall, I felt prepared and I enjoyed the format more because I knew what to expect.
