Interview question

<p>I am having my interview next Tuesday and I am wondering if you guys have got any tips for me.
Something which i am very curious about is how to answer why UPenn. From what I’ve heard the alumni writes a whole reference for you but since we’ve written a why UPenn essay… what will they get out of us if what we are telling them is already known to the UPenn admissions committee?</p>

<p>its a personal answer - what you say gives the interviewer an idea of your personality/passions/etc. i wouldn't care how many times they wanted me to repeat it: i <3 penn.</p>

<p>the interviewers dont know anything about you. they just TALK. it's not a one way interrogation, so make sure you've got some questions too. i just talked about what i like to do for fun. what books ive read, and we talked a lot about the books</p>
