<p>I have my interview coming up in a day and I was wondering if anyone had any advice. I've done research on the type of questions asked, and I'm a sociable, outgoing person, but it's very nerve-wracking considering W&M is my first choice and it's a bit of a reach for me. What are some tips/advice/pointers that you can give to me? If you've interviewed there before, how was it?</p>
<p>Our S interviewed a couple of years ago now.Like you, he researched what to expect in regards to questions.He did tell us the interview was done by a rising senior and was very laid back. More like a chat than interview. He was asked if he had any questions: have some you might want to ask in case.The interview flowed very well for him and there were no awkward pauses he can recall. Only 1 question caught him off guard; ’ If you could create any class what would it be?" Sometimes questions can be qwirky…just go with it.Good luck!</p>
<p>I had mine about 2-3 weeks ago. Let me just tell you one thing. It was probably the most relieving and fun experience. My interviewer was an incredible girl and I was able to relate to her quite a bit. Of course you’re going to be nervous, I was incredibly nervous. However, if yours is going to be anything like mine, then after the first 5-6 questions you really begin to get the hang of it. It’s a relaxed, laid-back, and amazing experience. I took the advice “be yourself” and used it all I could. It is worth it! Good luck!</p>
<p>I could be 10,000 percent wrong but the sense I get is that these (all schools) student-led interviews are more marketing vehicles than admission selectors.</p>
<p>Our interviews are both informational and evaluative. Our interview FAQ page provides some help in preparing for your interview including blogs from previous Senior Interviewers that you might find helpful ([William</a> & Mary - Frequently Asked Questions about Campus Interviews](<a href=“http://www.wm.edu/admission/undergraduateadmission/applicationprocess/oncampusinterviews/interviewfaqs/index.php]William”>http://www.wm.edu/admission/undergraduateadmission/applicationprocess/oncampusinterviews/interviewfaqs/index.php))</p>
