Vague Interview Question

Members don't see this ad.

Hey guys, I have an interview coming up this friday, and I feel pretty good about all the "typical" interview questions except this one:

"What should I tell the committee on your behalf/ Is there one sentence you want us to tell the admissions committee about why they should accept you?"

Is it ok to just say some strengths and how much I want to go to the school? Or does the answer need to be more unique? Am I over-thinking this? Any thoughts or pointers would be appreciated =)

Assuming you're a current cycle applicant, how's that possible? And yes, you're overthinking this.

My guess it is a practice interview...but who knows.

Idk maybe tell them how YOU are a good fit for their school, and believe your qualities (interpersonal skills, communication abilities, etc.. fill in the blank) will contribute greatly to their future class if you're accepted.

It's an interview for early assurance acceptance, so they do them in the summer
