Interview at Wesleyan

Applying to College

I have an interview at Wesleyan tomorrow, and I wanted to know if anyone has tips, specific or general. Thanks!

General tips for interviews (I have done 5 so far):

  1. Start with a smile and a firm handshake. Address them with Mr./Mrs (last name) unless told otherwise.
  2. Don't ever give yes or no answers- elaborate on the how and why
  3. Be genuine
  4. Think of it like you're just having another conversation
  5. Dress appropriately (and, in my opinion, be on the conservative side- you don't want an admissions officer remembering you for your clothing choice)

My kiddo interviewed with a senior student working in admissions.

Come prepared with at least 2 or 3 solid questions - stuff that can’t be answered by looking at the school’s website.

Relax, be conversational and enjoy yourself!
