<p>[Off-Campus</a> Interview (Bowdoin, )](<a href=“http://www.bowdoin.edu/admissions/forms/interview/off-campus.shtml]Off-Campus”>http://www.bowdoin.edu/admissions/forms/interview/off-campus.shtml)</p>

<p>If they have an alum in your area then they will contact you! </p>

<p>In terms of interviews, I have actually had 2… I would take advantage of the opportunity of having an interview… It is esentially your chance to tell the school what can’t be said through your numbers and your essays. It is a great opportunity and it can only help you so go for it! </p>

<p>They tend to ask:</p>

<p>what areas your are interested in, sometimes why.
What are you extracurriculars and will you participate in anything at the school. (I said community service and they asked specifically, which was fine because i knew and could give an example, but don’t throw around general terms, they hear that from EVERYONE)
something about what lengths you have gone to learn about the school. and why have you chosen Bowdoin.
if you have any questions, so be prepared. </p>

<p>Just be honest, don’t lie :slight_smile:
and try to really give the person a piece of yourself to take back to the school and say that you are a great fit. If you haven’t had an inteview before then I really recommend having a parent, friend, older sibling or teacher who really likes you give you a pseudo-interview it will really help! Trust me. </p>

<p>Good Luck all!</p>
