Just had my Wesleyan alumni interview at his office (he's an investment banker). Took me nearly two hours to get there by train, but I was very proud of myself when I got to the city with an hour to spare. I spent it sitting at starbucks, eating lunch and, between mouthfuls, practicing talking with ease to the chair across from me.

I think the interview itself went really well. He asked me for my GPA, my SAT scores, extracurriculars, "why do you want to go to Wesleyan?", and what three things I thought defined Wesleyan. Then it was just all questions I had from there. He gave me a very honest account of his experience at Wesleyan, pros and cons, something I thought was extremely valuable since collegebooks and websites tend to only give a one-sided view of things (the pros).

However, if I could change one thing about my interview, I think it would be that I hadn't been so nervous that my vocabulary became severely limited. BLEH! Nonetheless, I remain satisfied.
