<p>rocketDA is right. I think the interview attempts to examine whether you’ll be happy at Mudd. Examine the core and see if those classes are really what you want to take for the next two years, because if they don’t sound appealing, core will eat your soul. We’ve already lost 2 people from the freshman class because of this, and I know at least two more frosh I know are transferring after this year is over for this exact reason.</p>
<p>So by “bad fit,” I mean “Will you enjoy/survive core?”</p>
