I had mine at the College of William and Mary.
They seemed to go okay - I emphasized the various activities I was involved with, talked nonstop, and tried to go as in depth as possible. The worst thing you can do is just gloss over questions or ignore them all together. Umm...I got thrown off by one: "If you could BE anyone, who would it be, and why?" I was prepared for a WHO WOULD YOU MEET question, and since I'm interested in criminal psychology, I had a list of various serial killers and psychopaths...
Yeah, you don't actually want to say you want to be a mass muderer. Anyways, I just blurted the first non-psychopath on my mind - Ramses the Great. It actually turned out quite well...

Has anyone interviewed with Stanford before?
They seem to be doing a pilot interview this year and I have one scheduled for next week, kind of nervous but thrilled for this opportunity.

What are some good questions you could ask in an alumni-interview?

I've had two interviews so far. One for MIT and the other for Columbia. The MIT one went just as I most of the other interviews on here went. He asked me the generic questions "Why MIT?", "What inspires you?" etc. And then we just talked about MIT for a bit, very relaxed made me feel welcome.
The Columbia interview, on the other hand was quite different. It began the same way, lots of generic questions. Then all of a sudden he began to ask me my views on the UN and it went from there. It was 5 hours of us going back and forth on different subjects. Is it alright if I disagreed with him on just about everything? And is that normal?

I have an interview with George Washington University soon. Is it more informative or evaluative?

I have an interview with UPenn soon...and I was wondering, is it bad to bring a list of questions you want to ask during the interview? Like literally, a piece of paper with all my questions written down. Or would it be looked down on if I do that. Should I memorize all my questions?
Because if I have around like 7+ questions, I'm afraid my nerves might make me forget some of them. Afterall, this is my first choice school and I applied ED to it. This, in addition to the fact that my standardized test scores are below the Ivy League averages, which means I really want to make a good impact with my interview if it could possibly help my application in any way.

If you have applied to Georgetown EA and have not yet heard about an interview...should you be concerned?

If you have questions for the interviewer, fine to write them down. I write down questions that I have to ask students whom I interview. It's easy otherwise to get sidetracked in interviews.
People who want info on interviews for specific colleges should also ask on those college's forums here.

| tobeducated, they sent out like an email blast, I think, giving you the name of your interviewer and contact info. You should call the admissions office and let them know that you haven't received one. But before you do, do a search in your inbox and check your spam. I've been missing a lot of college emails lately.

I interviewed at Hopkins- super easy and the woman was nice. She asked me about myself, my interests, and what I wanted to pursue at Hopkins.
Now just stressing about MIT, Harvard, Yale, Cornell...etc.

Question- I emailed back to interviewers, is it normal for them to take a couple days to respond? (Im hoping message did not go through a spam filter)

Just got back from George Washington interview, it went great! I was lucky enough to have the Senior Associate Director as my interviewer, whom I recognized from an info session I had been to. The Associate Director was also there and recognized me from a presentation he gave at my school. My interviewer told me that both of them are on the review committee, so in her words are "good people to know." 
She asked me about my extra currics, favorites and least favorites, best and worst classes, and we had a nice chat about good books.
I'm feeling really good about this one.
