<p>Hey guys! I will be visiting Brandeis University in the first week in August and I have scheduled an on campus interview. I am really nervous because I have no idea what they are going to ask. Do they ask a lot of questions to see if you know about the school or are they more about your own academic and personal interests? Those with previous experience willing to share are much appreciated! =]</p>
<p>D had a summer interview. She had a resume with her and the admissions director asked her questions about herself from that. He even went on a website she had put down for her acapella group in the middle of the interview. She made sure she was knowledgable about Brandeis and asked specific questions about their music program and double majoring. But the basic focus was to get her to speak about herself and her experiences in high school.</p>
<p>I’ve been doing alumni interviews for Brandeis for years.
One thing that I always ask is for the candidates to explain what in <em>particular</em> about Brandeis appeals to them. In other words, “tell me something you like about Brandeis that you couldn’t say about any of the other schools to which you are applying.”</p>
