What to expect for Reed interview?

I have my Reed interview coming up in about a week, and I know it's supposed to be pretty informal, but I'm really nervous. What should I expect? Any tips someone cares to share? And good god, what do I wear to an informal liberal arts college interview?

Expect a conversation about yourself! I know that sounds daunting (I know I always blank when telling someone about who I am...), but I'd liken it to you meeting someone for the first time. So, the other person is just trying to find out more about you. You know, you talk about your interests and hobbies, some stuff you do in school, what books you've liked, etc. I've heard of "quirky" questions being thrown at kids, but I didn't get one in my interview. Trust me, the hour goes by really quickly...TOO quickly...

I wore normal clothes...Jeans, sneakers, a t-shirt, a jacket...It was REALLY low-key.

You'll be fine Once you get into a nice groove, your anxiety will melt away like butter over a freshly toasted bagel. Yum...
