<p>I have my interview tomorrow and have a quick question. Should I bring a resume? Any other advice is greatly apreciated.</p>
<p>I would, but if possible send it today so he/she can look over it and u can talk about it tomorrow.</p>
<p>I'm so nervous... Mine's tomorrow too.
And I was instructed to bring a resume, probably gets the conversation going.</p>
<p>What kinds of questions should I expect?
Of course why Penn... And probably stuff about what activities are most important to me. But what else? Do they ever ask like, your favorite book/movie?</p>
<p>And how does the conversation usually begin?</p>
<p>Sorry if I seem frantic. =/</p>
<p>I dunno....but have some questions to ask them. It shows interest in the college and wanting to learn about Penn. (I.E. what would you say was your most memorable experience at penn? or how has a penn education affected your life?)</p>
<p>When I had my interview, I was asked to bring a resume so yes, I highly recommend you have a copy of your resume with you. Some questions my interviewer asked were: "Why did I choose Penn?", "What do I have to offer for Penn?", he also asked me "If Wharton wasn't there, would I still attend Penn?". I blatantly told him, "To be honest, NO!." After I said that, I was thinking to myself "what the eff did I just do?." Suprisingly, he replied, "If Wharton wasn't there, I wouldn't have chosen Penn as well.":)</p>
<p>dream more plz penndreamer, i want some more ******** to cloud my view</p>
<p>is the interview a selective one? thanks</p>
<p>No, roughly 50% of people are selected randomly based on geographic location and availability of alumni. Not getting it/getting it really means nothing.</p>
<p>I just had mine yesterday.
My interviewer was a dermatologist in his 40s, and so nice and friendly. </p>
<p>At the end he said he loves to write as many positive things as he can about the kids he interviews, and that he got a nice picture of me and has a lot of positive things to say.</p>
<p>If anyone's wondering what kinds of questions they ask, for me it was mostly about my interests and activities.
I think one of the reasons it went so well was because I have varied interests, and we talked a lot about how I'm an editor for my school paper and have always loved to write... After that, I told him how I was captain of the mathletes (his wife was a mathlete -- Crazy much?), and he thought being a math/science nerd and yet still having a passion for writing was really great.
Then we talked about how I'm creative and love art, an anthropology course I took over the summer at Brown and how Penn has an awesome anthro program, and even my sophomore year Biology fair project that I wont 1st place for (my interviewer was a doctor remember).</p>
<p>It was kinda fun actually. At the end he was like, ah we're approaching an hour, and wrapped it up. The time really did fly by. We laughed a lot.</p>
<p>I def recommend interviews to you guys.
Even though it's not a big factor and your interviewer probably won't be someone on the admissions committee, it's just nice to know there's this extra person adding some positive input about you and your personality.</p>
