Emory interview... Help!!

[shannon0622]

Hi, everyone. I am an international student, and I just got an invitation of Skype interview from Emory Sociology. I did not expect that they would have a Skype interview with me, and I really don't know what should I prepare, as it is the first time I got an interview from a US school.

Could anyone offer me any information about the Skype interview? I guess it might be similar to the interview for the domestic students. I am really worried to be asked about many theories things, as I did not major in sociology in my undergraduate studies. I do not speak very fluent English, either... Thanks very very much for any suggestion!!!!

This is just second hand babble, but I think these types of interviews aren't like tests, or interrogations. They're probably going to want to know, why sociology? why emory? and if you can talk a little more about your research interests. That's my guess. I think if you have solid answers to those questions you'll do fine. But take what I'm saying with a grain of salt because I've never done one before. I can't imagine they're going to ask you very specific theory questions though. good luck.

The above poster is correct. There may be a few questions specific to your statement or something outstanding on your application but it is mostly about why sociology and why Emory.
