[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP - how many college interviews have you sat through?[/quote]

Probably not the PP you are referring to but I used to interview for my college. I did about 5 interviews a year, sometimes a few more if I participated in an interview day. I stopped doing them a while ago though as I felt that at my advanced age I really couldn't provide much perspective on the current life of the college.

They were always interesting but some kids were definitely more well prepared, or just more comfortable, than others. A few were just painful. Some of that was certainly personality, but some was preparation. The kids who did well were able to give at least somewhat detailed answers to questions, had at least some knowledge of the college (don't ask about the business classes/business school at my SLAC), and seemed to have some sort of interests outside of class that they could talk about with some enthusiasm.

One of my DCs is the one I referred to earlier as a natural at interviewing. He didn't do interview prep but did prepare quite a bit for each interview - to the point of researching the interviewer themselves (linked in came in handy) to get a sense of their perspective and adapt to the situation.[/quote]
