Answer 2

It's pretty standard stuff they're going to ask you>>

• tell me a little about yourself >> spend 30 seconds on this one

• they might get into leadership skills > something like tell me about any problem solving or leadership endeavors you've undertaken?  Don't pile it on too thick as they can sniff out manure rather quickly.

• how have you done in your previous academic endeavors > 1-2 minutes

• what do you have to offer us here at P. U. >> 2-3 minutes talk about you're interests in whatever you want to take up, besides just space.  

• Why do want to matriculate to P. U. > you'll want to blab on about their fine academic programs, excellent research facilities & whatever else they brag about in their literature.  Don't say these things: I hear you're an excellent party school, or, I just want to get laid.

Now, if you're really a good listener, you'll want to know more about the school.  So ask questions beyond how bad is the food on the dorm line cafeteria?  

Good luck > once you've gone through 2-3 of these inquisitions, it'll be just routine.  Just be sure to show some enthusiasm & interest.
