| My d had her first interview, with U Miami. We were told it was informational, but that the interviewer was an admisssions officer and would also be "reading" the admissions file; also were told not to bring any transcripts, paperwork etc. Parents were welcome.
It went quite well, I thought. I pretty much kept quiet and d held her own. However, I would not describle it as informal/info only...as very early on, the interviewer asked her all of her stats, GPA, test scores etc., which luckily I had told my d she needs to know cold.
The setting was in a small hotel suite, a few couches and a table. You waited in the lobby and the receptionist called to let the interviewer know you were there and she came to get you.
It all went without a hitch and I was impressed with the interviewer and just the way it was all handled. |
