Interviews

<p>Can anyone give me advice on the on-campus interviews? Thank you.</p>

<p>As with all interviews, try not to be nervous. Keep in mind questions you want answered, and bring additional questions in case the conversation lulls. Be yourself. It'll be fine :)</p>

<p>The interviews are very informal and relaxed, so don't be too nervous. If you really want to prep, it is useful to practice answering very broad questions in advance. Questions like "Tell me about yourself" and "What are some interesting things about you?" can be disconcerting if you aren't expecting them, and you might wind up filling the silence with uuummmmms, or talking about your remarkable ability to stuff 160 grapes in your mouth. Just sit down for a few minutes and think about the most important things you want them to know about you. Don't rehash your application, they'll get all that information anyway, but use the chance to talk about something unusual about you or to build yourself up in areas that might seem weak on your app. Again, don't stress over it a lot. The interview isn't a huge deal, and they'll appreciate that you're interested enough to come see the campus and to talk to them. Just clarify and organize your thoughts beforehand, so you can show yourself off at your very best. :)</p>

<p>DS interviewed in October and it was with a senior engineering student. No worries.</p>
