<p>hi everyone! so i just went to a college fair and had a nice conversation with the cornell rep.</p>
<p>so we spoke and i had maybe 2 questions. however i have noticed that as cornell is my first choice (ED) i kind of know everything that i want to know.</p>
<p>this worries me...what about during my interview etc...what if i dont have questions? I really should but should i just ask things that i know the answer to? that isnt being honest.</p>
<p>lol it is good that i know so much about the school...but i feel like i intimidated the admission rep at the fair a little. what should i do?</p>
<p>Don't ask questions you already know the answer to. You'll bore yourself, and that's not a good thing during an interivew. Say that you've done a lot of research and know all about how the hotel school looks on paper, so what's the atmosphere like at the hotel school? What's a typical day like at the hotel school...what kind of stuff goes on? Who has come to speak recently/what's the latest news? Stuff like that.</p>
<p>Just be really friendly. Ask about their background and experiences. Talk about your experiences. Tell them that you know a lot about Cornell and are really excited to apply. You will probably have questions once u actually get to the interview. You could simply just put ur interviewer into the question...as in seeing how they experiences Cornell and what happened there. My interviewer and I even talked about a book I had just read in English class. Just be friendly and the convo will come.</p>
<p>And yah, as Figgy said, the interviewer isn't gonna want you to ask questions all about Cornell. If I recall correctly, mine spent most of the time talking about herself...haha. Your interviewer will most likely love to talk about him/herself. Also, you'll probably sound like a schmooze if you keep asking about academics. Ask about sports, weekend activities, stuff to do around Ithaca, etc.</p>
