The following is from Getting To The Quad
Purpose Of Interview
The interview is your opportunity to allow the admission committee to learn things
about you that they may not be able to find anywhere else on your application. It
is your forum to discuss the topics you care about, convey various aspects of your
personality and really “sell yourself” to the admission committee. Honestly, don’t we
all come across better in person than on paper?
Informative Or Evaluative?
Interviews are informative, evaluative or a combination
of both. The interviewer wants to learn as much as possible about you in the short
time you have together. But remember, it is also an opportunity for you to learn
about the school from a person who has firsthand experience.
On Or Off Campus?
Interviews are generally held on-campus with an admission
counselor, current student or another member of the university community (professor,
dean, advisor, staff member). Off-campus interviews are usually performed by
university alumni who have received widely varying levels of preparation. Typically
both types of interviews “count” the same for the admission process.
