Lawrenceville Interview Tips

I am applying to Lawrenceville for junior year and was wondering if anyone had any tips for the interview and tour.

@AlternateVisions
This is a VERY frequently asked question (and there usually aren’t any ‘school specific’ interview tips)… I would encourage you search past threads on CC… Plenty of people are nervous abt their interviews and have posted the same question :wink: :smiley:

You’ll get a chance to interview with one of the admissions officer. First they will take you back and then your parent will be interviewed. Don’t stress. It’s pretty laid back.

It was very laid back for my student. The AO was fabulous, interesting, and really good at getting a sense of the interviewee. Lawrenceville has a beautiful campus and a friendly atmosphere. Try to enjoy it!

@sgopal2 can you share what kind of questions the AO will ask for the interview?

They are general questions. I don’t remember really. There are no trick questions, and they are just trying to get a better sense of who you are.

For parents they just want to make sure you are not helicopter type.
