<p>i am interviewing at bates colby hamilton and middlebury in two weeks.
is there any prep i should do for this? (besides bringing in transcript, and prepping for common questions)</p>
<p>Have a mental list of questions about the particular school that will show your interest and enthusiasm. Be prepared for really open-ended questions like “tell me about yourself” or “is there anything else you’d like us to know about you?” - those can be intimidating sometimes, so just try to think of how you might respond. Think about what activities and interests define you, and be prepared to talk about them.</p>
<p>Definitely have answers to the following questions:
-Why [insert school name]?
-Do you have any questions for me?</p>
<p>Other than that, just relax. All the interviews I had were just like an hour long conversation. They’re usually laid-back. I would actually suggest not bringing a transcript or resume unless your interviewer asked you to bring them because the interview is supposed to help the adcom get to know you more personally rather than reiterating stuff that’s already in your application.</p>
<p>If we took away all the clubs at Hamilton and you could start one but only one, what club would you start?</p>
<p>Kind of random but the guy I interviewed with said that’s one the adcom interviewers always ask.</p>
<p>I sent my resume and all of my alumni interviewers said it helped them to get to know me. Don’t ask questions you can have answered on the college’s web page. Think of a question that expands upon why you love the school you are interviewing at. Relax they are actually fun.</p>
