Hi There! Just had my interview about two weeks ago. It was not a traditional interview AT ALL!! I talked with a current student, we basically just had a conversation about what I’ve done in school/what I want to do, how my backgrounds influenced me, and finally the most predictable question, why Barnard? She was very kind and didn’t even write anything down. Barnard does not tell you who will be interviewing you, most commonly it’s just a senior. I did not bring my resume and I don’t recommend bringing one; its an evaluative interview specifically to see how your personality would fit into the school, your application is your resume. I wore a black turtle neck and my favorite mauve slacks and a thrifty jacket. Dress clean but true to your style, it will be obvious if your dressing up as someone your not. Most of all walk in there with confidence! You are absolutely worthy of attending Barnard and I wish you the best of luck in your interview. I hope we are classmate next year (:
