What kinds of things are asked in the University of Rochester interview?

I am having my interview over the summer because they emailed me about doing this. How should I prepare? I know almost nothing about the school and am applying because my mom thinks it’s a good safety to have.

Mine was a pretty standard interview - why this school, what do you do outside of school, do you have any questions, etc. Definitely research the school.

But it’s not a safety. This year they rejected ~75% of applicants. What makes your mom so sure you won’t be in that 75%?

What major are you considering and what are you looking for in a school? This was my top choice (couldn’t afford it… Besides being competitive this can only be a financial safety of you’re very wealthy) so I may be able to point you in the direction of things you might like about it.
