<p>My Hamilton interview occurred months before I realized I had an interview with them. My high school holds a College Fair every October and each year a whole bunch of schools come to visit and talk with the students about their specific university or college. I specifically went to only the schools to which I was planning on applying, which includes Hamilton. I had a great conversation about Hamilton and my interest in possibly attending because of my visit and the many reasons why I think it’s a great fit for me, etc etc. We schmoozed, basically. The conversation was wonderful and I left my Hamilton rep’s table thinking I impressed him enough that maybe he’ll remember me come winter/spring when the regular applications were being read. </p>
<p>When I came back in April as an accepted student, I ran into the same admissions officer at the admissions building who just came out of a meeting with parents, including mine. My parents came up to me gushing about how the rep remembered me and loved my interview or something along those lines… and I was like, what?! Yeah, my parents told me that the simple little conversation I had in October was actually my interview. And you know what? I’m pretty sure it helped a bit in my acceptance. And now I’ll be attending this fall.</p>
