<p>I have a question. I did some research on my interviewer and found out he is a lawyer. Law is likely to come up in my interview because Mock Trial is one of my favorite extracurriculars and I have considered a career in law. </p>
<p>Would it be inappropriate if it came up that I knew he was a lawyer? Do you think he would think I was a creepy cyber-stalker, or would he be flattered that I took the time to find out about him?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I would let it come up naturally. When you do start talking about Mock Trial, he very well may mention that he is a lawyer.</p>
<p>I returned home from school, and there was this mysterious message on my house answering machine! </p>
<p>(faux names, of course.)</p>
<p>“Hello, I am John Smith trying to reach Jane X.” The message was cut off! It sounded important!</p>
<p>We have caller ID, so I called the long-distance number. It was a Dartmouth interviewer!!!
My interview is on Tuesday. He actually lives two hours away, but works in my town once a week. I had no idea Dartmouth even did interviews! I had little hope for my application after my REA Stanford rejection. This is a good sign, right?</p>
<p>What should I wear? Heels and my black business skirt? I usually wear that skirt and a longsleeve, church-appropriate knit blouse (no buttons) for my honor choir auditions. Would that be too formal? I am meeting him at his office.</p>
<p>Also: What should I expect? Will he be grilling me? Or will it be more of a Dartmouth discussion?</p>
<p>1) Your outfit sounds fine, assuming the skirt is of an appropriate length.</p>
<p>2) The interviewer will not grill you.</p>
<p>It’s a knee-length/slightly-below-knee-length skirt. I wear it for orchestra concerts too 
I could go with dark, dressy jeans and heels? Perhaps the skirt would be more suitable.</p>
<p>Thanks! That’s a relief.</p>
<p>Has anyone here gone to a group interview? I turned in my supplement for RD a few weeks ago (though not the Common App yet) and they’ve already contacted me for a group interview. I don’t know what to expect!</p>
<p>Don’t wear heels, at least not tall ones haha. But your interview is an opportunity to convey everything that can’t fit on your application. Normally interviewers will tell you about themselves and then you control the conversation. But you can always ask what he does, his major, ect. Its also an opportunity to have questions about Dartmouth answered. Talk about whatever you spend the most time on/do best.</p>
<p>my interviewer was very nice. we met at a coffeehouse after school so it was very informal, i was wearing school clothes (jeans, niceish/casual shirt, cardigan). she had told me it’d be about 20 minutes but it went really well and we talked for about an hour! like other people have said, its about half about you as the applicant, and half about the alumn’s own experience there. she had a set of questions like what i would have done differently in hs looking back, what im most proud of, why dartmouth, etc. make sure you have some questions for the interviewer!!! (major, fav thing about D, what trip he/she went on, did they join a frat/sorority, study abroad, what was their dplan like, etc)</p>
