My on-campus interview last summer was pretty brief (it probably lasted 15-20 minutes). There were no curveball questions, just basic things like what you liked about WashU, why you thought it would be a good fit, etc. I also got asked some pretty open-ended questions about what my favorite classes in high schools have been and my extracurricular activities. Overall it was a pretty relaxed interview (at least for my interviewer), even though it was my first college interview.

In terms of what to do to demonstrate interest outside of the interview, I made sure to email my student interviewer a thank you note that also included specifics from the interview about what I liked about what they had to say about WashU. I also popped in to the admissions office to introduce myself to my admissions counselor, which was a little awkward just because I didn’t have any prepared questions (so I would recommend coming up with some specific, quality questions if you are going to do this). I then emailed her thanking her for taking the time to meet me.

Ultimately, campus visits at any school are mainly meant to just help students get a better feel for the school, and your main priority for your campus visit should be trying to see if you can picture yourself at a school.
