I have a D, so that won’t help you (she wore a dress). But we co-interviewed with a young man who also got the award. He wore a long sleeve button down oxford (tucked in) and slacks with a belt. As far as questions go, I’m sure they vary widely, but the point of the exercise is to get a feel for your student’s personality and character. They’ve already got his stats there in front of them. I think communicating in an articulate way and being responsive and alert is my best advice. He should be prepared to discuss his goals and aspirations for his education and career. The best advice I got before my D’s interview was for her to “be herself”. That sounds like a cliche, but it was spot on accurate. Good luck!
