<p>I recently received the opportunity to interview on campus. This will be my first college interview, but not my first "general" interview. </p>
<p>I know that UChicago has upperclassmen interview prospective students, but I was curious as to the types of questions they ask. If any CC'ers have insight, I'd love to hear it.</p>
<p>How did you receive the opportunity to interview on campus? Did you request it? And is it more beneficial to interview on campus or through an alumni? I know they say they hold the same weight, but I’m pretty sure an on-campus one is more important, if anything.</p>
<p>From what I know, they ask unconventional questions that can seem intimidating at first but might actually be awesome if you think about them carefully. Let me know how it goes! I’ll also be interviewing sometime this year!</p>
<p>Good luck! Best wishes. :)</p>
<p>You can request an opportunity to interview on their website. They opened up interviews starting in May 2013. I will be near campus this summer, so I thought I would pop by!</p>
<p>I’ve heard they weigh alumni interviews and campus interviews equally. I know UChicago is very understanding when students are not able to make it to campus (I was not able to before).</p>
<p>I expect unconventional questions for sure. I was just wondering if anyone has insight from previous interviews?</p>
<p>Wait, are we allowed to interview before we even submit the application?</p>
<p>thelemon, you may have an on-campus interview before you submit an application; we begin interviewing rising seniors on campus in May. Alumni interviews may only be scheduled after you submit an application, and alumni and on-campus interviews are treated equally. You may only have one interview (so, you will not have the ability to schedule an alumni interview if you have already interviewed on campus, and vice versa).</p>
