NJC DSA INTERVIEW

Yippee today was my interview with NJC.. I think i did pretty ok.. um.. but got a i might not get in.. dunno y.

Ok lets see they asked a lot of questions and i guess i answered them pretty well but some i think i might have screwed up.

So first i went into the room and was asked to be seated and then they went about asking the questions. First was the toughest and the most expected and also the one that i had least prepared for. "Why do you want to DSA into NJC?"
me:"I have heard that the maths soceity here in NJC is very good and my seniors encouraged me to apply for DSA into NJC so that i can benefit from the training here."
him:"Ah.. So you applied because of the maths soceity here?"
me:"yes, actually a few of my seniors adviced me about it so i applied."

So now after that was done the posed the next question that totally made me panick.. luckily i had something to tell them(what i used to tell all my friends who dislike mathematics).
him:"Why do you lik mathematics"
me:"hmmm.. well actually its because i believe that mathematics is eternal truth!"
him:"really?"
me:"yeah. actually not only that i also heard that at a higher level every one ends up studying mathematics even those who take English."
him:(most probably sarcastically)"um.. English?? can you explain how.."
me:"Well i am not too sure how but what i heard is that they assign numerical values to nouns and verbs etc. and then look for patterns that might occur when proper and improper sentences are phrased."
him:"ah. ok."

Then they asked me if i had taken the mathematical olympiads this year.
me:"yes"
him:"senior or open?"
me:"both."
him:"And did you qualify for the second round?"
me:"yes for both i did."
him:"ahh ok."

Then they asked me about any setbacks i had had. I shall not elaborate here but those of you who are very close to me probably know what it is.

Next, they asked me to show them my report book and then questioned why my languages and humanities were weak and my sciences strong(um they are not THAT good who would call a A1,A2,B3 good??)
i gave some stupid reason which i cant exactly recall but luckily that was it..

i left out a large part of the interview here because i cant exactly recall.. i also forgot the order in which the other questions were asked.

After that, i went to wait for the others to come(Wei Hong and Son) so that i could tell them about the questions that were asked to mentally prepare them. Later i went to meet Abel and that was it.
