I interviewed for Harvard 2 years ago.
I remember talking about my main EC (marching band - drum major) for a while. What tripped me up was being asked about my favorite author. I was embarassed because I love to read forensics mystery novels... so my favorite author was Patricia Cornwell, not someone more "classic" like Hemingway. I was asked why I like her writing... and I rambled about her attention to detail. I don't think my response was very good.
I did get in, most likely due to my excited responses in regards to music. If I had even considered preparing (which I should have), I would have looked up frequently asked questions and prepared (in general) my responses.
