<p>I just got contacted tonight about my interview and it is tomorrow!!! I'm freaking out because I have no idea what to expect. Please, if anybody knows what I will be asked and what is expected of me, I would VERY MUCH appreciate your prompt reply!</p>
<p>Just be yourself and explain what you want to do in college and beyond.</p>
<p>This is likely to be pretty laid back. Deeeeep breath. </p>
<p>What is expected? Be on time, be presentable (not all dressed up, but clean), speak coherently. Be prepared to answer "why Duke?" or "why underwater basketweaving?"</p>
<p>Have some questions ready for the alum who is interviewing you, too. What did he/she most enjoy about Duke while he she was there, what did the interviewer study, etc.</p>
<p>It will be OK.</p>
<p>Best advice dpattzlover has already provided--just be yourself. Be honest, be interesting, and just have fun with it. I really enjoyed my interview--we talked about pretty much everything, from Duke basketball to the meaning of life (though the two topics are quite similar IMO lol).</p>
<p>If there's any specific advice I can give you, maybe think about a couple of books you last read in your free time. You might be asked to talk about that...just have 1-2 titles ready to go.</p>
<p>That's good advice! My interview is taking place at the Borders bookstore where I go all the time, so it's kinda like it's on my home territory.</p>
<p>wth. your interviewer didn't negotiate with you about what date is good?</p>
<p>How'd it go?</p>
<p>It's hard to say. My interviewer was really softspoken and hard to read. I didn't really know what to say; a lot of what he said and talked to me about was based on the questions I asked him. He didn't even take notes, he just sat there. But overall I guess it went well. He said he thinks I would like and fit in a Duke, but that's like one of those " I bet you say that to everybody" type questions. I started the interview by colliding into a chair smack in the front of my face, but I was laughing at my own random act of clumsiness so it was ok. :)</p>
<p>Lol, nice! </p>
<p>At least one thing he learned --- you won't be playing on Duke's bb team. haha jk. :).</p>
