High School Interview Question:

Tell me a bit about your family?

Submitted by: Muhammad

This is a common interview question, and one that is unfortunately filled with minefields. Applicants can talk about who's in their immediate and extended family, but they should steer away from difficult or potentially embarrassing subjects. It's fine to state that the child's parents are divorced, as this fact will be obvious to the admissions committee, but the applicant shouldn't speak about topics that are too personal or revelatory.
