Interview At Skidmore

<p>I'm going to be interviewing there in a couple weeks, and I'm just wondering if anyone with insight could give me advice on what to do to prepare and if there's anything I should do/avoid? </p>

<p>I've never interviewed at a college before and I really like skidmore, so I don't want to mess it up just because I don't know what to expect.</p>

<p>My son interviewed at Skidmore a couple of years ago. It was very informal, more of a conversation about what you like, what you want to do, etc. In a conversational manner, express your interest in Skidmore and why; then, just be yourself.
Have some legitimate questions about the school (stuff that is not easy to find out from their website).
Relax and good luck.</p>

<p>Are there any questions I should plan for? I can answer questions truthfully when they are asked but are there questions they will expect me to have pondered extensively?</p>

<p>If you are genuinely interested, show it. Be sincere and enthusiastic. I think the worst would be to come off as too cocky, or overconfident (I’m applying to better schools, this is a safety), or “I don’t know anything about this school but my parents want me to interview”.</p>

<p>Be willing to say what interests you about this school. And what would you bring to Skidmore that should make us want you?</p>
