The question shapes that repeat
- "Why Habib, and why this school?" listen for specificity, not brochure lines.
- "Tell me a story from your life that shaped how you think." small, real, and reflective beats grand and generic.
- "A time you disagreed with someone." they want to see how you hold a view, not that you never disagree.
- "What would you study first if you had a free summer?" reveals real curiosity, not resume-driven interests.
- "A question about the world that keeps you up at night." pick something you can hold a conversation about for five minutes.
- "Follow-up on your personal statement." if you wrote it, be ready to defend it.
