<p>I've always been curious to what the interviewers would ask you while you're being interviewed. Could you tell me some of the questions that you were asked, and if asked if you wish to anything about the school, what would you ask?</p>
<p>Why are you interested in ___?
What other boarding schools are you applying to? (they’ll definitely ask this)
What is your strongest trait? (your opinion)
What’s your favorite type of books to read?
What are you reading in Language Arts class?
What do you do over the summer?
Tell me about your family. (siblings, their schools, parents, their jobs, etc)
What classes do you take?
What are your extracurriculars?
Do you have any leadership positions? What are they?</p>
<p>Ask anything that you are curious about. But, obviously, you shouldn’t ask anything that can be easily searched up – show that you’ve done your research. That means don’t ask things like “What’s the teacher-student ratio?” and “Is there a swim team?” You can ask about the swim team - that shows you’ve done your research so you know there’s a swim team, and would like to look into it more. And you can ask how the teacher-student ratio impacts the school and the benefits of it.
Example: if you feel a bit skeptical that students display outstanding leadership there, a nice one would be “How far has student leadership gone before, is there anything that pops out in your mind?”</p>
