pomona interviews

<p>I'm getting reading for my Pomona Interview, and I'm feeling very nervous because it's an on campus interview. I was hoping if anyone who got it over with or has done it in the past could maybe offer me some advice or tips, such as the type of questions they like to ask, what attire I should wear (formal/semi-formal), etc. I already know that they ask you if you have questions about the school to see how well you researched it, and I have lots and lots of questions because it is my number one choice school.</p>

<p>You should wear what makes you comfortable, but it's always safe to dress in business casual - khaki's and a shirt or or sweater if you're a boy, a skirt or nice pants and blouse/sweater/jacket if you're a girl.
Bring an activities list and be ready to answer questions about it. It helps to project enthusiasm for your interests and activites.
Be prepared to answer, in some form, "Why Pomona?" Most colleges will ask what attracted you to their college.
Relax, and don't think you have to have the perfect answer for everything. The old standby, "Be yourself" is probably good advice, especially at Pomona. You may be interviewed by a senior student, or maybe a recent grad. It's also better to be a bit nervous than a bit arrogant. You'll do fine!</p>
