Help Me Prepare -- Common Questions that Interviewers Ask

<p>I have an interview coming up next week. I'm pretty comfortable in social situations and enjoy conversation. I'm not especially worried. But I'd like to have a few well-put together answers for the questions he's almost surely going to ask me.</p>

<p>What are some common questions that college interviewers ask? And some good interview strategies that let me put forward the best parts of myself?</p>

<p>"Why X school?"</p>

<p>And better answers than "It has my major" and "It's prestigious." Really know the school and really know how it is a good fit for you and how you are a good fit for the school.</p>

<p>There's a featured discussion on "Fresh Interview Questions" and a couple interviewers listed questions they ask, it might help you.</p>
