<p>I have a interview this Saturday,but am clueless about what they are going to ask me. Does anyone have any idea what they could ask?</p>
<p>Here are some common interview questions that I was asked by Brown and other schools.</p>
<p>How did you get interested in Brown?
Why do you think that Brown is a good fit for you / you're a good fit for Brown?
What will be your biggest challenge at Brown? (I got asked this... kind of a weird question)
Is there anything that didn't come through in your application that you'd like me / the school to know?
Do you have any questions about the school? (they will probably ask you this, and you should think of some intelligent questions!)
Is Brown your first choice (if you're not applying ED) / Why is Brown your first chioce (if you are applying ED)?
What drives you / what do you love most in the world / what are you passionate about?
What was the last great movie you saw / book you read / concert you attended etc?</p>
<p>Don't study for your interview, appart from doing some basic research about the school (which you've hopefully done already) and coming up with some intelligent questions (ie not "how many undergrads does Brown have?" or "is there a Physics major?").</p>
<p>Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Thanks That really helps!</p>
<p>My interviewer had me interview him the entire time. Not until the end did he ask a single question about me.</p>
<p>I have been conducting Alumni admissions interviews for Brown for 15 years. The interviews are not evaluative, as much as informative, and give the applicants a chance to see a friendly face representing the University. We are looking for candidates that fit the Brown "personality profile", endlessly debated here, and probably well known, personal passion, independent thinking,etc. But as I have said in this forum before, we just want to make sure that you don't have two heads, and give you a chance to ask questions from a living, breathing Brown Alum.
On a practical level, though...I for one personally HATE it when candidates tell me in an interview that they like Brown less than ....(fill in the blank), and when the candidate is completely clueless... (in one memorable interview the student asked if there was a science major at Brown!)</p>
