COLLEGE INTERVIEWS (continued)
What is your reason for participating in athletics (or student government, or the newspaper, etc.)? What are the satisfactions? In what ways have you grown? Since you are interested in science or math, why are you interested in a liberal arts college rather than a more technical institution? How and in what ways do you expect, plan, hope, to transfer your secondary school contributions, achievements, activities to the college level? What will you bring to us? What has been your favorite subject in high school? Why? What might you study in college? What books or authors have made a lasting impression on your way of thinking? Have you read deeply into any one author or field? What is the most interesting book you have read lately? What events, if any, would you deem critical in your life thus far? Who has most influenced you? What pressures do you feel operating on you at Milton to conform? Describe ways in which you “go your own way.” How have you spent your summers? Tell me about your family. What is your reaction to [a current event]? Describe something in the past year that made you really indignant. How would you describe yourself as a person? Have you ever thought of not going to college? What would you do? How do you spend your free time? Why do you think you are a good match for this college? Many qualified students apply to our school. What makes you distinctive? Do you have any questions? (Have some in mind.) Where else are you applying? (You do not have to answer this question. At the same time, you don’t want to be rude. You could say “I’m really looking at a range of schools and I haven’t settled on a favorite yet.”) What would you do if you weren’t afraid? Why do you do what you do? What didn’t I ask that you’d like me to know about you?
