<p>I'm having my interview soon for admission. What are they like and how should I prepare?</p>
<p>Do you want a full breakdown on suggested body language / communication / human interaction ?

<p>The most important question you should be prepared to answer is why you want to come to Hillsdale. 
Are you having it on campus?</p>
<p>Yup, in a week!</p>
<p>Here’s a link to a few typical questions. </p>

<p>Good luck next week. Let us know how it goes.</p>
<p>I was asked, first and foremost, why I wanted to attend Hillsdale College. After answering that one, I blanked for an unknown amount of time, but seem to remember the questions, “If you could have lunch with any well-known figure, who would it be and why?”, and “If you were in a position of power in this country, what would be the first domestic issue you would tackle?”</p>
<p>One question I think they asked of my son was if he knew about and understood the Mission Statement. Apparently, they do place a lot of store in it, even though most other colleges do not.</p>
<p>Liberty as distinguished from license… uhh… man, it was SO much easier back in '02 :-P</p>
<p>Just got my acceptance letter today :D</p>
<p>Congratulations MegBows!!! Are you going to go to Hillsdale? Still making up your mind?</p>
<p>Almost definitely going! :D</p>
<p>Congratulations MegBows! There is no place like Hillsdale! Tell your parents to save their money so they can go to Parents Weekend. It’s a great time (right Momoftwins?)!</p>
