<p>The many thoughtful responses on the thread on evaluative vs. "non-evaluative" interviews was so helpful, I thought I'd ask if anyone had specific advice to help D prepare for on campus interviews of both kinds. I think we've got the dressing neatly, knowing as much about the college as possible, having a couple of questions in mind part of it down. She's only visiting colleges that interest her a lot and about which she'd like to learn more, so the enthusiam will be sincere. But is there a book or an article or a college interview equivalent of the "xiggi SAT prep" method out there?</p>
<p>Here is a really basic one from the Skidmore website giving general advice for interviews - <a href="http://www.skidmore.edu/admissions/inquire/interview.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.skidmore.edu/admissions/inquire/interview.htm</a></p>
<p>I know we found others by searching the web when my kids were interviewing. Good luck.</p>
<p>There are tons of old threads on this topic.</p>
<p>Thanks for the Skidmore list and advice to search old posts. I tried "prepare interview" and found a lot of helpful info. Is there a specific old thread you'd recommend?</p>
<p>There was an extremely indepth thread on "Interview questions that you should know about" that is found here:<a href="http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=6371%5B/url%5D">http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/showthread.php?t=6371</a></p>
<p>Good luck</p>
