<p>Sikorsky: Thank you so much for your reply! I think having an interviewer’s view on an interview made it less intimidating…I guess in my head I had always viewed interviewers as someone out to get you - apparently that’s not true, haha!
Your advices really helped! I’m going to look more into Brandeis and some of its appeals.</p>
<p>I just want to ask, what things are you looking for that you can’t get out of an application? Do you mean in-depth experiences with my EC’s (camp, swimming, orchestra) or something that’s not even put on the application, like a hobby I have or a particular class that I took interest in during my high school career?</p>
<p>Is it bad that I’m not too involved with politics? 
I have no interest in politics except for the key issues, and my parents don’t follow politics either. I like reading about current events (not related to politics)…does this give me less to talk about in interviews?
Should I be honest to an interview and say that I don’t have an interest in politics, and that it is something that I’m not very knowledgeable about?</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your help! :)</p>
