<p>Any tips would be helpful thanks!
I’m looking at schools like Bates, Bowdoin, Kenyon, Skidmore, Lewis & Clark, Pitzer</p>
<p>juicy, if you’re interviewing on campus your interviewer will most likely be a current student or a member of the admissions committee who may also be an alumnus/a. In general, you will find your interviewer friendly and eager to put you at ease, so just relax and enjoy the conversation.</p>
<p>They will want to know what makes you tick: what your interests are both academic and extracurricular, what you like to do in your spare time, what makes you stand out.</p>
<p>They may ask you what other colleges you’re applying to just to make sure that you understand the character of the individual college. Since your list is fairly consistent, it seems that you do.</p>
<p>You should have a question or two – something that has to do with the academic atmosphere, teaching style or social ambience. Don’t ask factual questions that could be answered on-line. Your question should show that you actually took the time to learn about the mission and the philosophy of the school. Think intellectual spark, enthusiasm.</p>
<p>Great list, by the way. You might take a look at Hamilton as well. Good luck and let us know how you do.</p>
<p>I’m not going to be very helpful, but I have to echo momrath in that your list looks very nice. Good spread of selectivity, while keeping a reasonably similar college atmosphere. It definitely looks like you’ve done your research.</p>
<p>tell me about yourself
why <strong><em>(insert school)</em></strong>_
what are you looking for in a school
what are you interested in majoring in</p>
<p>things like that. also, it’s a plus if you can relate to your interviewer in some way, such as liking a recent movie or having an interest in psychology or something.</p>
<p>momrath pretty much covered it. relax, be yourself, be professional and confident but not a machine. make sure you know about the school and ask meaningful questions whose answers can’t be found on the website. good luck!</p>
<p>Also, if you have specific interests you plan to pursue in college - sports, for example, or an academic program - try to arrange a meeting with the coach or professor. Some colleges will schedule these for you, although my daughter contacted coaches/professors directly.</p>
