Interview for Monbukagakusho 2010 (undergraduates)

It was really frustrating because I think I have done badly.

Initially, I think I have done a great job but then, things changed.
One of the interviews asked: " If you get this scholarship, which university you want to be admitted?"
I answered:"I don't mind as long as the university offers the course that I want"
Then immediately he said:" This is a very wrong attitude!" bla bla bla........

I panicked. Never thought that things will go this way. And all the interviewers were staring at me. (haha,it is funny when I think back)

&$%@%(*)*~@!

I was not sure what was happening afterward. But after about 10-15minutes, the interview session ended. I went home blurred.

By the way, 20 undergrad candidates were called for interview.

Remember to:
1. reach there earlier.
2. wear formal. Guy - necktie, long sleeve shirt, pants, shoes.
Girl - slack/skirt, shirt, shoes (cover toes)
3. bring all necessary documents (original and photocopy). Arrange the original certicate in a proper manner. By the way, the interviews did not even ask for my original certificates. I went in and just put on the table. haha....
