This is from my daughter:

I definitely had curve ball questions of the “Paraphrase Nietzsche…” and “What would the title of your autobiography be?” type. I wasn’t given a clear indication of what my interviewer was interested in. I gave him my resume so he asked me questions based on it. When he saw I was involved in Latin Club he asked me what my favorite Latin writer was. He also asked me standard questions like “What high school accomplishment are you most proud of?” and “What would you add to our campus?” I just tried to have a conversation with my interviewer and made sure I was engaging him with my answers. I also emphasized my passion for math and my admiration and knowledge of their math program. I had been visiting campus for a couple of days before the interview and had talked with a friend who was going there. This gave me ample material for answering questions.
