<p>what kind of questions do they ask in interviews? I am scheduling one with Pitzer for November and was wondering what i can expect.</p>
<p>research "college interview questions" or "college interview tips" under google or another search engine, and you'll come up with loads of info. Here's an excerpt from <a href="http://www.quintcareers.com/college_interview.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.quintcareers.com/college_interview.html</a></p>
<p>"The Most Commonly Asked Questions</p>
<p>The secret to doing well on interviews is to practice. Do a mock interview with your parents or teachers. This may sound strange, but once you hear how much better you answer the same question the second time around you will understand.</p>
<p>Why do you want to attend X university?</p>
<p>What is your strongest/weakest point?</p>
<p>What have you done to prepare for college?</p>
<p>What has been your greatest experience in high school?</p>
<p>What do you want to do in the future?</p>
<p>Tell me about yourself. (You should focus on about three things.)</p>
<p>Tell me about your interests.</p>
<p>Tell me about your involvement in extracurricular activities.</p>
<p>Tell me about your family.</p>
<p>What do you think about (insert a current event of the past week)?</p>
<p>What is your favorite book? Who is your favorite author?</p>
<p>Which of your accomplishments are you the most proud of?</p>
<p>If you could meet any important figure in the past or present, who would it be and what would you talk about?</p>
<p>If you could be any animal what would you be? Why?
Practicing answers to these questions will give you a huge advantage during the actual interview. Plus, think about how much less nerve-racking your interview will be now that you already have the answers to the questions."</p>
<p>I think you will find Pitzer interviews fairly casual and they typically do not ask all of those questions mentioned above. The trick to any interview is to figure out what the question is really about. What is the interviewer trying to gauge from your response. While practice can help, be yourself and be ready for a conversation.</p>
