How was your alum interview?

<p>As an alum interviewer, I just wondered, for those of you who had one, how it went. What were your thoughts? Any comments, suggestions? Did you get what you needed from the interview? It is a 2 way street, and wanted to be sure the applicants found it helpful.</p>

<p>I had a lovely phone interview, but I’m a little confused because my interviewer only asked me about what classes I am currently taking and what extracurricular activities I’m active in. Is this typically normal for a Vassar interview? I did do my best to slip in why I’m interested in Vassar since she didn’t ask me why.</p>

<p>There is no standard for the interview. There are some suggested questions that we can ask, but its really an opportunity to talk more about who you are as a person, as well as ask questions of the interviewer as well. I am sure yours was fine!</p>

<p>Mine was great. We met at a Starbucks in the city and exchanged questions for about an hour. It was really a lot about getting to know what the experience at Vassar would be like. We also discussed my current classes and interests as well as other colleges I applied to (I made it clear Vassar was my first). In all, the interview was pretty casual and stress free. I found it extremely helpful since I got an idea of what life was like after Vassar. I was impressed that the alums liked their alma mater so much that they are willing to do this service. </p>

<p>I applied EDII and was accepted.</p>

<p>congratulations!</p>

<p>Ah, that’s really good to know! Thank you! :]</p>

<p>You are very welcome. Good luck!</p>
