<p>@Anonymouse1225 If you ask 5 people, you will get 5 different answers about why it is good or bad (<a href=“College Interview: Good to Bring a Resume? - Applying to College - College Confidential Forums”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/college-admissions/453391-college-interview-good-to-bring-a-resume.html</a>). </p>
<p>I personally think it isn’t a bad idea, if only to offer it as something to skim through. You can just list some of your interests and activities, things you’ve done that you think would be good talking points. I don’t really have any good advice about whether you want to put grades in. Read the link above, which is not specific to Rice, and decide for yourself. As a side note, I don’t remember bringing an resume and I was accepted, so it’s not a huge deal :)</p>
<p>As far as interview tips go, I would definitely be relaxed and act like yourself (a friendly and polite version of yourself, but yourself). The whole point of the interview is to get to know you. I had an alumni interview, and they didn’t grill me or anything, but I was expected to talk about things I had done and answer open ended questions about my interests and experiences. Come prepared with questions to ask! I just wrote mine down on a piece of paper that I could pull out when he asked if I had any. Feel free to respond with any questions! </p>
