interview: what questions to ask?

<p>hey everyone, </p>

<p>i have a phone interview with UR soon. what are some good, smart questions to ask the interviewer? its only supposed to last 20 minutes, so i have the feeling its supposed to be me asking a lot of questions and making convos...? help! what questions did you guys ask?</p>

<p>Any questions you might have about majors/programs you're interested in. Questions about student life. Questions about costs and financial aid. What the weather is like in Rochester. In short--anything about the school you'd like to know.</p>

<p>You are not being judged on the quality of your questions.</p>

<p>Mostly the interview will be about <em>you</em>. Be prepared to talk about yourself, your interests and what you'd like to do at UR should you matriculate.</p>

<p>"You are not being judged on the quality of your questions."</p>

<p>that makes me feel much more relieved! i had the impression from others that students that coming up with smarter, "tougher" questions impresses the interviewer more. thanks! i definately have some great questions now!</p>

<p>I had my interview on campus. It was probably the best 30 minutes I spent doing anything college related, whatsoever. I loved it. The person I interviewed with was amazing and was a former student. It was basically about what both of our goals and the activities at rochester. I seriously cannot tell you how laid back and relaxing it was. I wish it was longer.</p>

<p>A tip is do your research before you go. It really shows that you like the school and want to attend. I knew a lot about my possible major and the actitivties they offered, even internships based on majors. I love Rochester, so finding these things out was just a part of the process before hand. It really shows that you are interested.</p>

<p>By the way, I do not think that I asked one question that I thought of before hand. It was scripted and thought out in advance. It was just natural. It worked for me. Relax and seriously just be yourself.</p>
