Those who had interviews

<p>what did you bring?
trascript, resume? anything?
or just nothing?</p>

<p>i didn't bring anything nor do i think you need to bring anything, except the ability to answer the following question eloquently:</p>

<p>why do you want to go to penn!!?!!?!?!?!</p>

<p>nothing.... just myself!</p>

<p>what kind of questions did they ask at the interview?</p>

<p>well, it was an interview for a different school but i guess most interviews are similar... though they can depend on the interviewer rather than the school!</p>

<p>anyway, after the initial "awful traffic".. "hope u didn't have trouble finding your way here" stuff.
So, tell me about yourself! [This one was completely unexpected so I didn't know where to begin!]
What do you like to do for fun or during your free time?
Then we discussed the extracurriculars i was involved in! Then community service stuff and lessons I had learned from incidents I happened to mention! Lengthy discussion.
The obvious "Why this school?" question!
What will you study? Why?
What do you see yourself doing in the future?
Do you have anything to ask me about the college?</p>

<p>tht's about all i remember right now. the interview lasted for about an hour or 3 quarters of an hour i think!</p>

<p>good luck</p>

<p>How long was your interview and how long are these interviews normally? I have a feeling mine might be so boring it'll only last 5 minutes!</p>

<p>mine was 45-50 mins.. but my interviewer does like only one interview per day so he takes it slow i think. i was worried mine would be boring too but when you start talking about the stuff you love to do and all, it should be a lot more comfortable.</p>

<p>I haven't had an interview (and I'm really hoping I do!) but I think in general you shouldn't be worried if you're boring or not. I know I for one love to talk, though I know how to restrain myself in more important situations like interviews lol. If you have something you love, something you have "a passion" for, I don't see how you can ever run out of things to say! My general outlook on life: be yourself; if they (whoever "they" are, whether it be college admissions or the world) like you, great; if they don't, it's their loss. I think in general the most important thing to know for interviews is to know yourself. With just that, you're set.</p>

<p>of course, this is all coming from someone who's never had a formal interview (that i can think of anyways lol) - i'm just very social lol</p>
