Interview Question

<p>For Harvard's on campus interviews, are they informational (I ask questions about the school) or do they ask questions about myself? If it's the latter, what questions should I expect?</p>

<p>On campus interviews are most likely evaluational. That said, the questions shouldn’t be worlds different than just informational interviews.</p>

<p>I tried to do one at the admissions office, and they were like go away an alum in your hometown will contact you soon, we don’t do evaluations here. We don’t even keep a record of who is interviewed here. I don’t know if that’s still true, though.</p>

<p>Huh, interesting.</p>

<p>My S interviewed on campus but he was a recruited athlete and we live in the area. According to him, all the questions that they asked were about what he would contribute to the school (in addition to sports) and how he thought the college might help him grow as a person.</p>

<p>I don’t believe there are on-campus interviews. (Except, perhaps, in unusual cases such as revbon50’s.)</p>

<p>@exultationsy: On their website, they have a section “for seniors only” that says they offer on-campus interviews.</p>

<p>@Sikorsky: I saw the “for seniors only” section, and was baffled because there was no online form to allow me to submit. I called the admissions office, and they scheduled me an on-campus interview.</p>

<p>I’m pretty confused by the replies, since I even got a confirmation in the mail.</p>

<p>All right then. I stand corrected.</p>

<p>So would these be evaluational?</p>

<p>^Maybe
There’s a guy called “huinsider” on another forum who says he does tours for H, and according to him interviews are more informational than evaluative. I’d still stay on my toes if I were you.</p>

<p>Where is the “for seniors only” section. I can’t seem to find it.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>
