Habib interview tips, the ones current students actually give

The Habib interview isn't a viva. It's a conversation, and interviewers can tell within two minutes whether you're being yourself or reading from a mental script. Below are the tips current Habib students give applicants in mock-interview feedback, distilled.

Before the interview

  • Book a mock interview once your test date is confirmed, don't wait for the offer letter.
  • Pick three stories from your life you'd genuinely want to talk about.
  • Know why you chose your school (DSSE or AHSS), specifically, not generically.
  • Read one long article you care about the day before, it settles nerves better than re-reading your personal statement.

During the interview

  • Pause before answering, one second of thinking is not silence, it's confidence.
  • If you don't know something, say so, and pivot to what you do know.
  • Ask a real question at the end, one you actually want the answer to.
  • Don't check your notes, don't glance at the ceiling, hold the interviewer's attention.

After the interview

Don't second-guess. The interviewer isn't scoring you against a rubric of rehearsed answers, they're checking whether you can hold a conversation about ideas. If you did that, you did the interview. For the official interview process and dates, check Habib's admissions page.
