<p>What kind of questions are asked at interviews?
Thanks!</p>
<p>It depends on the interviewer, and there are thousands of us. A "typical" interviewer is going to focus on three things: your academic interests/accomplishments, your extracurricular interests, and your interest in Columbia. There is no "formula" for a Columbia interview, and a Columbia interview won't be all that much different than any other college interview.</p>
<p>Personally, I try to avoid asking boring routine questions. If the interview is me asking a question and the applicant giving a 5 word answer, over and over again, I'll be ready to fall asleep. I try to find some way to get a conversation going about something the applicant can talk intelligently about.</p>
