Yale Interview

There was a lot of give and take during my interview...and I could sense that my interviewer (a senior) enjoyed just talking about a lot of the things I was interested in about Yale...mainly the idea of the residential colleges being like living in a "college within a college"...I avoided talking about AP courses, or any ECs, and just focused on being myself. I think the key to college interviewing with a student is to relax and be yourself...life is so short...there's no need to talk about the future or wishing yourself to be a Yalie...speak to the moment, be honest--smile--opportunities to meet new people are a once in a lifetime experience...just allow it to happen
