W:Thanks for coming to my office today. This interview is to help me get to know you and see if you do well at our school.

M: Thank you. I’m very happy to be here.

W: Good. Let’s get started. First, can you tell me why you’re interested in this university?

M: Yes. Both of my parents attended this school, and they received excellent education. I know that Harvard University has a long tradition of educating future leaders.

W: What do you plan to study?

M: I would like to major in political science. I want to become an elected official.

W: Why?

M: I am interested in protecting the environment. Right now, politicians are passing laws about it, but they don’t really understand the issues.

W: How do you plan to learn about the issues?

M: I will take classes in environmental studies and biology, in addition to my major. Also, as you can see in my application, I’ve volunteered with local politicians during the summer. I’ll continue to do this in college as well.

W: Wonderful…So, can you tell me who has influenced you?

M: My mom. She was an immigrant to her country when she first arrived, but she worked very hard her whole life. Now, she is a professor.

W: What other schools have you applied to?

M: I have also applied to Stanford and Georgetown. But this is my first choice.
