<p>so i searched for interview in this forum and got like 20 pages... sweet.</p>
<p>I have no idea what my guy is going to ask me, but he sounded elderly on the phone. I looked him up and only found that he's part of the rotary club in my town and donates money to random charities and the school system.</p>
<p>I'm confident in my abilities to talk world events/politics (read newspapers everyday), but I'm nervous that he'll just ask me some random question and I won't really know what is going on.</p>
<p>I anticipate he'll ask me Why Harvard, what I can contribute to Harvard, and why Boston/Cambridge, etc.</p>
<p>Here's my worry: I want to standout in a good way in my interview, yet I'm worried that I could stand out in a bad way. i.e. most people would talk about the same stuff for Harvard, but I want to make sure I don't. Basically, any advice on how I can make sure to leave a positive impression on my interviewer without sounding like the typical Harvard interviewee?</p>
