<p>im gonna have an interview next week,, does any one know what are the questions?</p>
<p>thank for reminding me i have to set up my interview soon...
=/</p>
<p>good luck!</p>
<p>are the interviews on-campus? how do you arrange one?</p>
<p>it's with an MIT alumni (i think) in your area.. check mymit.mit.edu for more</p>
<p>alumni in applicant's area...
,,,um any suggestions on what kinda questions would be on it??</p>
<p>I meant to ask a question about this. For those of you who scheduled them, did you already complete part I of the application? Also, on the MYMIT homepage I have the email address of my EC. Do I just schedule it with him or do I have to do it through the MIT admissions office?</p>
<p>you can call him and make an appointment,,,dont call him on the weekends though</p>
<p>I had been working on Part I, but I hadn't submitted it yet when I scheduled. I called my EC directly and scheduled it with him (no calling the admissions office). A few days later, I submitted Part I, but you don't have to to have your interview.</p>
<p>As for heyyoyo's question, I have no idea. Anyone care to enlighten us?</p>
<p>Since there are so many interviewers, the interview is pretty free-form.</p>

- What will happen in the interview? Every interview is different and ECs don't have a fixed set of questions you must answer. Basically, your EC wants to get to know you as a person so he/she can add another layer (both metaphorically and physically) to your application file. Because your EC is an alum of MIT, he/she will be able to share with you experiences and memories about his/her time at MIT. The interview really is a two-way exchange, so take advantage of this and feel free to ask questions of your EC as well. Remember: questions of science, science and progress, do not speak as loud as [your] heart.</p>
<ol> <li>What is your advice for the interview? Some interviewers like to see that you have researched MIT and have specific questions for them. This does not mean you should have memorized course numbers or already picked out your living group. I think good traits to convey during your interview are enthusiasm, maturity, and respect. It sounds hokey, but all that stuff about making your personality shine through really means a lot.

<p>My boyfriend chimes in that the interview is less like a typical interview and more like a conversation.</p>
<p>The only question that seems to be a constant in the interview (well, at least in SoFla and according to three applicants that are currently students [from last year]) is "Why do you want to go to MIT?" Besides that question, my interviewer just went down my resume and asked about the things that I had done and what was most important to me. She also asked if I wanted her to stress anything in her letter and if I had any questions for her about anything. Honestly, it's not nerve-wracking at all and, depending on your interviewer, you could have a fantastic conversation just about life and college, etc. Now I have a question...do you have to submit part of the app before having the interview? I definitely didn't do that...</p>
<p>wait,, you didnt submit part 1?? then how did you get contact with interviewer???</p>
<p>lol...the information is in the midst of all of those blogs on your main MyMIT page. It gives all of the info about the interviewer (phone number, email address, etc.). I called her up, on a Saturday night no less, and scheduled an appointment.</p>
<p>i didnt know that,, anyway i submitted my part 1,,im applying ED to MIT</p>
<p>I believe the MIT website states that nothing is required to bring to the interview.</p>
<p>But did (or will) any of you actually bring a resume or a piece of work?</p>
<p>I don't intend to (more stuff to worry about). My interviewer's coming to my house, though, so I can always bring stuff out if he asks about it.</p>
<p>Are you guys nervous about your MIT interviews? I'm kind of excited, because I'll be meeting with a (hopefully) down-to-earth representative of the school...I'm looking forward to finding out what he has to say. </p>
<p>Good luck with yours!</p>
<p>I'm nervous in the way that I always am whenever I'm doing something that's a big deal.</p>
<p>On the other hand, I'm excited for two major reasons: one is the one sooners.brian mentioned, and the other is that it's a chance to show who I am (you know, the whole extra dimension stuff that was quoted earlier).</p>
<p>It'll be an interesting experience; that much is certain.</p>
