<p>I have an on-campus interview at Yale next week. I am going through some questions they might ask and such, but does anyone have any tips or advice? Especially if you have had an interview yourself. </p>
<p>I am not really sure what questions to ask them, seeing as I already know alot about the school. I've heard people say that I should ask questions that show I know my stuff, but what exactly does that mean? I was planning on asking a question about research opportunities. Are personal questions for the interviews out the the question? For example: "What was your favorite experience at Yale?"</p>
<p>Also, how long should my answers be? Mine are about a paragraph written out (not that I am memorizing them). </p>
<p>It’s a conversation. There is no standard length for answers. My interviewer said nothing was off-limits in terms of questions, but I only asked two short and simple ones about Yale itself and not him personally, but “what has been your favorite experience” is about as inoffensive as you get so I don’t know why you think one may be offended by that question. LOL. </p>
<p>Questions vary. Mine never asked why I wanted to go to Yale. He asked about my bio and then we spoke of our interests. Nothing big. I knew of some things pertaining to his hobbies so I brought them up during the discussion. He mentioned what he thought I would like. Etc.</p>
<p>I would not prepare answers, but that’s just me. What I liked was how informal and “not-stilted” our talk was.</p>
