<p>i have my interview at 5 tomorrow...what are they like...i've had a few, but none of them really asked me questions about the school...how do dartmouth's interviews work?</p>
<p>well i think it really varies with the interviewer... mine was all about me... the only talk about the school was him raving about it... no hard questions.</p>
<p>same here. typical questions, why dartmouth? what do you do out of school? why not tech school? im a math/science person. biggest hardship in life? and the guy talked about dartmouth a lot, it was comforting, he was really easy going and really seemed to like dartmouth, certainly made me like dartmouth a lot. relax and good luck.</p>
<p>Yeah- I got hit with the "biggest hardship" one too, which I personally think is a stupid question.</p>
<p>Also look out for: How will you continue some of your interests at Dartmouth? What do you think will be the biggest adjustment you have to make going to college?</p>
<p>Basically it comes down to two questions:
1) Have you done enough research about Dartmouth to prove you want to go here (and aren't just applying blindly, because it's Ivy)?
2) Are you smart, resourceful, and a good person (Obviously- pretty general and subjective. One admissions officer told me once he based it on: would he want this applicant living next to him, in a dorm?)</p>
<p>I WANT MY INTERVIEW :( havent been contacted yet...</p>
<p>BLAH tedjj me neither. Admissions told me to call back like Feb 21st if i didn't get one. And I know they claim it's up to the Alumni Coordinator or whatever to contact you, but for some reason my paranoid mind gets a nasty feeling that I've not been contacted b/c they know I'm not in and don't want to waste an interview on me. Yes, I know, completely irrational lol</p>
<p>I don't think they consider any interview a waste. When I applied to Columbia ED, I was interviewed, even though at the time I had a "low" SAT score. However, they rejected me in December. Apparently the admissions officer who reviewed my application told me if my SAT scores would have been higher I would have been accepted. But to stick to the point, they don't consider any interview a waste.</p>
<p>cup, just how low was your SAT score, cause mine's pretty low too, in the 1300's , highest combined only 1410</p>
<p>yeah cup I realize that now, b/c I had my interview yesterday :-D</p>
