<p>i got a call from a university grad who wants to do an informal interview. any tips, ideas, or anything? how different is it from a formal interview?
thanks</p>
<p>You'll probably get more helpful advice by saying what college it is.</p>
<p>just have fun with it. interviewers appreciate talking to a normal kid rather than some crazy, ambitious college-bound student who uses big words. ask them questions about their experience, if they know anything about the anthro, physics, econ programs (whatever it is you're interested in). Talk about the social life at that college, your interests, their interests (let them talk about themselves, everyone likes to do that). Talk about normals things too...what music you listen to, what your hobbies are. blah blah blah. impress them with your suave demeanor.</p>
<p>eliza- thanks a lot. and its for WashU</p>
