<p>What should I expect in an upcoming interview with Pomona? Any out-of-ordinary questions asked? Any advice, at all?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>Recent on-campus interview I had was pretty laid back. Interviewer was a Pomona senior. Set aside resume I'd brought without looking at it but I ended up talking about most everything on there anyway - if it really matters, it will come up naturally. Questions were pretty normal I think...the one that gave me the most pause was what my least favorite class was. People say this all the time but it's really true: the interview is as much for you as it is for the school. Ask questions! I felt like I had an even greater appreciation for Pomona after my interview.</p>
<p>Hope this was helpful!</p>
<p>Thanks for the help!!!</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure at this time last year I was posting about my looming Pomona interview (or at least stalking other posts about it, lol). Now I'm a freshman, and I hope I can help.</p>
<p>I too was interviewed by a Pomona senior. I was soooo nervous. I brought a resume, which was totally unneeded. I started out super-awkward (did I mention my interviewer was insanely attractive to boot?), but he asked basic questions, why Pomona, what classes did I like in high school, what extracurriculars do I do, etc. I think the one thing I did which really helped me is demonstrating a strong interest in Pomona. I talked about a specific club I planned on joining, I even threw in the number 47. Maybe it seemed like I was trying a bit hard, but sagehens are often the enthusiastic types anyway. </p>
<p>If you have something you're passionate about, find a way to talk about it, and you'll do fine. Pomona wants smart kids, of course, but they also really want passionate, personable, involved kids. Good luck!!! Maybe I'll see you next year :)</p>
