Hey wildchild, thanks for sharing! I actually had an interview last Wednesday with an alumna and it was wonderful! It was really casual, we just hung out in a coffee shop and talked for a few hours. She just asked me how I found out about Smith and why I was interested. We kind of just let the conversation go in whatever direction it wanted to, so while we did discuss academics, it was in a really informal way. I asked her questions about her time at Smith and how it influenced the way her life is today, and I brought up my personal achievements whenever it felt right. I also gave her a copy of my resume as we were leaving. Good luck!
