這是最基本的問題,若果你連自己都不知道如何介紹自己,誰會比你更清楚?學生要準備興趣、強項、自身特質等問題,最重要的就是你和其他申請者有甚麼不同。

例如學生報讀醫科,生物是你的強項。你不能只是說我的生物很好,成績很好,而是解釋你曾經參加過某些資優計劃,甚至參加了某些比賽得到獎項等等。
另一方面,你都要知道自己的弱點,因為你不能說自己沒有弱點。例如數理強的,可能語文較差,所以你着重的位置不是說服考官自己有幾差,反而是重點如何設法改善問題,例如學習方法,找老師課後補習等等。考官想看你解難的能力。

學生要準備大學的特點,例如某些科目世界排名高,好像科大的碩士商科就曾經擊敗哈佛成為世界第一,學生可以輕輕提及。當然最重要的就是,自己如何鋪排選科、活動安排,甚至實習經驗都是圍繞着這個科目而準備,就能成功打動考官。

大專院校希望看到學生是否有抱負理想,不能只是為了金錢工作。如果你的答案是因為高薪厚職,這個答案可能真實,但是不符合考官口味。他們希望看到的是,學生會對社會有甚麼貢獻。例如就讀法律系的同學,可以說希望未來可以幫助弱勢社群彰顯公義,因為律師一直都被大眾認為是有錢人的遊戲,希望能在自己能力範圍,亦都可以為受壓迫的社群伸出援手。
