I wondered the same…My interviewer grew up in the same state as my mom, works in a law firm (I put down pre-law as an interest), grew up listening to broadway musicals (me too!), his wife went to another college that I’m applying to (which was not on my app, but a coincidence nonetheless), he speaks fluently in French and has an adopted foreign child (my major is linguistics) ALSO, his kids went to the same school my friends from the summer went to (if that follows)…It was crazy how many things we had in common!!!
