<p>I personally did an off-campus interview and was glad that I did. The alumni I was assigned to was very informative and we had a very pleasant chat. You don’t necessarily have to impress them. It is good to let your interviewer know you are interested in Rice, but it shouldn’t be your priority during the conversation. I used the opportunity not only to express my interest in Rice, but also to ask questions from a real life person that had gone through the college experience. I don’t know exactly how the on-campus interview works, but I’d definitely suggest an off-campus one.</p>
