i had an interview for middlebury lastyear. im pretty sure that this along with my essay is what got me in. my grades and sats were like likwer end of their average. but it all worked out. be yourself. my alum interviewer and i foudn liek a million things we had in common from like her knowing my grandma who owns a video store in town, to the fact that we both played the bassoon in middleschool lol. its quirky its fun but it makes theinterviewer have fun while talking to you.. its not as simple as asking som eboring question and them answering. ask questions as they com eintot eh conversation. ask open ended questions that will lead into conversation, not simple yes or no or a sentence answers haha. i asked questions like 'so hows the mountain on campus' which led to her asking me if i skiied and us talking about a local mountain whihch we both knew which led me saying how much i liked the chili in a breadbown they serve in the cafeteria there. hich led to hows the cafeteria food at middlebury.. you know? it can be fun. pretend like its your older wiser cousin or aunt or someone youre slightly familiar with but havent seen in a while so you make sure youre respectful etc.
im sure this made no sense, but im pretty sure it was the interview that got me in.
