Cairo, Sep 16(SEE)- Some scholarships require a personal interview, which may last for more than half an hour.

Speaking fluently and effectively isn't the only case, dressing professionally as well as portraying confidence and flexibility will impersonate you as a competitive applicant.

"SEE" provides a guide for passing an interview.

-Clothing

To show that you are a decent student, clothing should be appropriate and formal.

Do not increase the colors and glittering of your clothes.

Plan your outfit the night before the interview.

-Flexibility

Choosing a university that is less popular increases your chances of acceptance.

Demonstrating the motivation to study abroad, and maturity in your answers will help you pass the interview.Being Prepared is just another name for success. Do a sharp look over your CV and make sure to fill any gaps of unrecorded time.

If you have any interesting experiences, address them during the interview. Let your achievements and traits speak for themselves. Go in confident and be certain of yourself. Take a good portion of sleep on the night before the interview.

If you are late, you should call ahead and ask for an interview push back or reschedule. Frequently asked questions in most interviews:

-Why did you choose this scholarship program? Is it related to your current study and future career?

-Are there any obstacles in completing your studies abroad?

-Why did you choose this specific destination?

-Where do you see yourself in five or ten years?

-Why do you think you deserve this scholarship?

-What are the biggest challenges that you faced during your studies?

-What is your point of weakness?

-Tell us about yourself?
