<p>I'm applying RD and I have my interview tomorrow (Saturday), RIGHT after my SAT. Ugh, the timing could not be worse - my brain will be so fried.</p>
<p>Has anyone had his/her interview yet, and could you tell me what it was like? Casual conversation/Q&A session, informal/formal, what types of questions are they required to ask? I think I saw someone say on this forum that the alumni interviewers were difficult to converse with because they were "unsocial nerds?" I hope this isn't true.</p>
<p>I'm nervous - I can't even tell if my interviewer is a man or woman, or if s/he is young or old. I guess it doesn't matter that much, but still, it's nice to know what to expect.</p>
<p>Be comfortable, have questions to ask and be prepared to answer questions about your academic life, your desires, you study intentions, and why you want to come.</p>
<p>As for the interviewer, it really depends on who you get. The guy I got was a cool, nice person. My friends also had similar people.</p>
<p>Some of them, beware, may ask you really weird questions. I think my friend got asked "If you died right now, what would be on your tombstone?"</p>
<p>i had my interview the day before thanksgiving, and the guy was really talkative. i was worried about weird silences but it was comfortable, except sometimes, i felt he wasn't giving me enough time to answer the questions. then, he seemed confused about the interview b/c he seemed to think that i should have stumbled more over my words and been a bit more indecisive.
i hope your interview went well.</p>
