As 128769 said, please don’t bring a transcript! Interviewers are more like friends than investigators, they don’t need numbers like your GPA and class rank =p. You should bring a resume because it helps you remember the awesome things you’ve done, and it’s also a good conversation starter if you guys run out of things to say! (As in, “I see you’ve done ______, how was it?”) Plus, if the interviewer decides to keep the resume, he/she can use it as a great reference when writing the review for the interview.

Now, don’t be nervous. Interviewers love what they do, or else they wouldn’t be doing it. Do some research about CMC, and ask interviewer questions about what he has done and what was his experience at CMC like. Most people love talking about themselves =p. Anyways, I wish you best of luck. Do dress nicely for the interview, because from what I’ve experienced, it actually happens in its Admissions Office!
