What Does the School Look For in an Interview?

Is there a secret code?

 A school wants to see two things:

  1. Your character, talent, and interests not shown in the application (or the interests in more detail); and
  2.  your interest in the school.
An interviewer, as an outside third party, “vouches” for you. He/she observes—and often confirms—what can be read and surmised in other parts of your application.

Show that you have something to add to the school. You do not have to be loud to be a leader and contributor, but you need to brag and present yourself. Make sure to convey your research and interest in the school.
