Bard interview questions – Flashcards

I want to go to Bard because I definitly want to go to college and i think this school will help me get a headstart in my college career.

I would choose Bard over any another high school because Bard offers a lot of opportunities that I would not be offered in another high school. For example how your schools curriculum exceeds the standards set by the New York State regents so you don't have to take the regents.

Some of my all time favorite books are the book thief, the boy in the striped pajamas, Harry Potter, and the life of a part time Indian. I mostly read historical fiction and a little bit of fantasy.

I find myself very interested in the topic of how foreign countries school curriculums are outperforming American school curriculums. We rank really low compared to countries like Korea. I also like to follow politics.

I enjoy reading, listening to political podcasts, exercising, painting, going to the park with my dog, and going to museums.

Your school stands out from all the rest because here I know I can develop my love for history with all the advanced history classes beacon offers. I am also interested in the debate team that beacon offers. Can you tell me more about the debate team?

My goals in high school are to do well and really use my four years to the fullest by well preparing for college and also enjoying myself. My goals for my future are to be a successful lawyer in criminal law and that is the reason why I am very interested in the debate team.

I don't really have a least favorite topic but the topic I could improve on is science and my favorite topic is math, though I hope to improve that at your school because I know you have the right teachers to help me achieve this goal.

One of my role models is Michelle Obama because she takes her leadership role as a responsibility to give back to society and she is always trying to inspire others.

I'm a good fit for this school because I'm very hardworking and I'm good at prioritizing and this school will be a place where I can really fit in with the rest of the determined students. I can achieve my goal of going to an Ivy League college by using all the opportunities to prepare for college that offered here.

My most challenging teacher would be my 6th grade social studies teacher because I personally didn't think he taught in an affective way and I struggled to learn from him and had to self teach myself sometimes.

I was born in Brooklyn and I have lived in both manhattan and Brooklyn all my life due to my parents being separated. I'm an only child. I went to pre k and kindergarten in Brooklyn and attended first grade to fourth grade in manhattan at ps.111. Then I moved back to Brooklyn for fifth grade and finish off elementary at ps.230. I attend middle school at ms. 88 and I am in a regents class so I am able to take classes for high school in middle school so I will take higher level high school classes when I go to high school next year. And may I ask a question? Will I be able to transfer my regents credits from 8th grade if i go to bard high school?
