Admissions Interview

<p>I have an interview scheduled with a university I am applying to this week. The interview is with an admissions fellow with the office of admissions. Not an alumni interview. It is going to be at a local coffee shop. Can anyone tell me what to expect? Is it expected of me to bring an academic resume or something of that nature? How should I dress? Is just business casual good? Also, would it be a smart idea to arrive slightly early and buy my coffee and just wait around? I know she has like 3 other students scheduled before me that afternoon from what she said in the email. </p>

<p>Any help or insight on what to expect would be very much appreciated as this is my first admissions interview.
Thank you!!!</p>

<p>Business casual is fine. If you have some kind of resume, bring it, but it is okay if you don’t. I agree on coming a bit early (10-15 minutes)to place your order and get settled with your drink (cool enough to sip), :slight_smile: that is good. You are likely to get questions about your extra curricular activities, what you might want to study, or what you are looking for in a college. I think most admissions officers hope to have a real conversation with a student, not just get short answers, so feel free to expound a bit on your answers.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info! Greatly appreciated! :)</p>
