what questions do denison alums ask at interviews?
my interview is at the alum’s apartment, should i dress casually? Are jeans or leggings ok?
I interviewed a little while ago. She asked just the usual questions: “Why Denison?” “What do you like to do in school?” “Favorite classes?” “Extracurriculars?” etc.
Kind of weird it’s in her apartment. Go for semi-formal. I’m a guy and wore khakis and a flannel.
Parent here – no wardrobe advice, since I only have boys. From my kid, what I recall him saying questions in alumni interviews were conversation starters – tell me about yourself, favorite classes, ECs, what are you looking for in a college, why X school. Do be prepared with questions yourself – about campus life, academics etc. Enjoy – it really is a conversation where you can express your energy, interest, what you would contribute to campus.
Nice jeans would probably be fine. Good point about having questions of your own ready.
