My biggst question is thier questions - how are the interviews and applications like? what typeof questions do they ask (ive heard that they ask pretty weird ones) and what are they looking for in our answers? also the personal biography by the application - what do they want exactly?!

interviews are basically your family- your family history- your school your camp your friends- your friends who apply- ur friends who r in the sem now- y u want to go to that sem- where you want to live- were your fam membors live and wat they do- wat u r learning- whos your role model wat you do for fun your chesed job- y u want to go to israel- wat you hope to accomplish...then they ask you to read and translate a part of a sefer- dont be afraid to say that you dont no! be yourself- it helps- if you feel that if you wont get in if your yourself- the place is not for you! the biography- write about you and your family your jobs in hs your camp and y u want to go to sem! good luck everyone- its not as hard as you think!

can e/o use their names please!!!!!!!!! i've asked a million times but it would just be soooooooo much better if ppl would just WRITE THEIR NAMES!!!

Applications-don't get so caught up in what you write exactly to answer each question-when they are pretty weird questions..they don't sit and read your application and base it on it either..so just be honest and write personal things(not private but personal)that have correct eng. and grammar..and that's basically it..
