Junior Interview

Been There, Done That!
Talk to Seniors about timelines and deadlines! Ask them what they would do differently now that “they know”
Keep this process in perspective and have fun! Find balance with academics, social life, sleep, and other activities
Time will pass quickly and this time next year you will be looking at graduation.
Congratulations – you’re almost a SENIOR!
