<p>If anybody has interviewed at UChicago before, can you tell me what sort of questions to expect? I've never had a college interview at all, and I'm sort of nervous.</p>
<p>I didn't interview at U of C before but I have had a few college interviews when I was a senior in high school. At one school, the only quesiton they asked me was "What do you want to talk about" and started it off that way. Another school was more formal asking me what I was interested in,why I wanted to apply and go to the school, who my heroes were and why, etc. Hope that helps!</p>
<p>i had an alumni interview! it was my first (and only so far.) it was a lot of fun! i think the questions you get might vary, of course, depending on who you get, but my impression is that generally speaking, it's more about getting to know you rather than critically evaluating you. for me, it was just sort of a fun conversation. my interviewer was kinda youngish, and he asked me general questions about myself. i started college really young (so i'm a transfer app to uchicago) so he asked a lot about how that came about and what my experiences were like. i spoke about my classes, what i did over summmers, that sort of thing. it just flowed very naturally! later i asked him about how he heard about the school, why he decided to attend, what he studied, etc etc. i exchanged a few email with him afterward, and he helped me with my essays too! (although that may be too late for you, unless you're RD.) so yeah. it's really fun! don't be nervous. if you end up with a not-so-great interviewer or the interview doesn't go well for any other reason, it won't hurt you! at worst, it'll still help you because you're demonstrating interest (:</p>
<p>just wondering, when did you get contacted? I'm still waiting...</p>
<p>I had an alumni interview a few days ago. It was AMAZING. I had so much in common with my interviewer. We talked about the schoool, my interests, background, why he decided to interview people... even politics. A good portion was about how much I can bring difference to uchicago.. </p>
<p>I think it went very well.
I just wonder if I'm going to get into uchicago. It would be amazing to be admited!
