Hey, I was accepted into CSFC for 2025 in September and here's a rundown of what i did in my interview. First off, the college wants to see more of you as a person rather than a student. Yes a strong academic background is good but they want people who are going to change the world, I mentioned my drone project and my successes in the robotic engineering field and whilst my transcript wasnt as shiny, they still gave me a chance. I think its most important that you show that as a person you know how to deal with faliure and are good at working in a team. I'm not too sure exactly what they look like but i also applied to brighton and oundle who both said the interview alone was amazing. If u have more questions pls dont hesitate to reach out i hope im not too late
