<p>i have an interview scheduled.</p>
<p>anybody who had interviews at lafayette (or anywhere, i guess), what types of questions do they ask you? how formal is it? thanks.</p>
<p>tim555,</p>
<p>I previously posted this response to a similiar question in the "I'll Answer Your Lafayette Questions!" thread:</p>
<p><<< This is the information provided on the Lafayette website regarding the interview process:</p>
<p>Admissions Interview</p>
<p>Admissions interviews give prospective applicants a chance to speak about themselves in a one-on-one conversation with an admissions director. The interview lasts about 30 mintues, helping admissions staff form a clearer picture of applicants, and allowing applicants to ask specific questions about Lafayette. Please note, interviews are not required for applicants but are recommended.</p>
<p>On-Campus Interviews for the class of 2010 are now over. Interviews for the class of 2011 will begin on May 1 and are offered through December 29.
Interviews are conducted at the following times:
Monday – Friday – 9, 9:40, 10:20 and, 11 a.m., and 1:20, 2 and 3:20 p.m.
Please call (610) 330-5100 at least two weeks in advance to schedule an interview. </p>

<p>Ok, it's me talking again! Just to reiterate, interviews are both informational AND evaluative, so make a good impression. Even though they are conducted informally, make sure to dress up nicely and come with questions to ask of the admissions officer. The questions you ask should not have answers which are readily available in the college literature.</p>
<p>Just be yourself during the interview, and make sure you communicate your enthusiasm for the school. If you are lucky enough to get an interview on campus, consider yourself one step above those applicants who could not schedule one. >>></p>
<p>Most interviewers will ask YOU to talk about what you wish to talk about (extracurricular involvement, athletics, community service, etc.). They will only resort to asking questions if you run out of things to talk about.</p>
<p>I hope this little bit of information helps you, tim555. Good luck with your interview!</p>
