My son had his interview today. He thought it went fine. No wacky questions, very straightforward. Mostly talked about his interests and school record.
I applied to Goucher, LC, Boston University, Northeastern, Tufts, UCSB, UCSD, USSC, UCLA, and UCBerkeley.
I originally applied ED to Vassar, but was (sadly) rejected.
I've visited LC and Tufts. I am leaning towards them. I had my interview yesterday with Erica Lynn Quiggins, one of the Associate Deans of Admissions. She was very nice and informative. The interview was like a conversation. It ran for a little under an hour.
Just so you all know, DD2 is a freshman at L&C and loves it. She is involved in five activities on campus besides her classes and regularly takes the bus to wander around downtown.
Swi, I totally understand the adv/disadv to attending school near by. Neither DD applied to U of Dayton, a good local school which would have offered good merit $.
Besides L&C, I'm applying to Brown, Vanderbilt, Case Western, U Cinci, U Dayton, Miami U, and Rose-Hulman. And I have absolutely no idea what I want to do, haha. The first four are tied for 1st place and I'm really not interested in the last four, I only applied because my mom wanted me to.
I attended LC last year and I am now taking the year off, exploring life and transferring. If anyone has any questions they want to ask a student who didn't love LC, feel free to drop me a line.
