Getting Students to Campus
The Question I Couldn’t Answer
Once Upon a Time...
I am Zaid, 22, applying for a public policy program in Bengaluru. One panel member asked a question about a recent policy report that I hadn’t read.
My Inner Thoughts...
For a second I tried searching my memory desperately, hoping something related would appear.
What I Realize Now...
Finally I admitted honestly that I wasn’t familiar with that report but shared what I knew about the broader topic. Later I understood that honesty can sometimes leave a stronger impression than pretending to know everything.
