<p>Interviews are (at least) as much about allowing you to learn more about the school as they are about allowing the school to learn more about you. My MIT interview was about 90 minutes long, and an hour of that was discussion leading off of the questions <em>I</em> had prepared. All my interviewers loved talking about their schools in response to my questions; that’s not to say some of them didn’t grill for the first part of the interview, but they were all receptive to me asking as many questions as I wanted afterward (if they didn’t have another interview or engagement scheduled for right after). I think the interviewer who takes complete control over your interview is a rare encounter. </p>
<p>In fact, I believe the interview consisting more of my questions than the interviewers’ questions was something characteristic of all my college interviews, though I just remember the large ratio of MIT’s best, since of course I had the most things to ask of the school that was my top choice. ;)</p>
