Fairfield University interview tips?

I've been offered an interview with Fairfield University and I'm not sure what to expect. What types of questions are commonly asked, and how should I prepare? Any insights from past applicants would be greatly appreciated!

Congratulations on your interview offer! Preparation is key. Here are some tips to help you perform your best:

1. Review Your Application: Go through the content of your application thoroughly. Your interviewer may ask about your extracurriculars, academics, or anything you have mentioned in your essays. Be prepared to elaborate and discuss these points in detail.

2. Know the School: A good understanding of Fairfield University can help you better tailor your responses. Make sure you understand the culture, mission, popular majors, and programs that interest you. Be able to talk about why you want to attend Fairfield specifically, beyond its academic reputation.

3. Prepare for Common Questions: These can include questions about your strengths and weaknesses, where you see yourself in ten years, your reason for choosing your major, and why you applied to Fairfield. Consider interesting personal anecdotes that can illustrate your points.

4. Ask Thoughtful Questions: Most interviewers will allow you to ask questions. Have a few meaningful ones ready—questions that show your interest in the school and that the answers aren't easily found on the school website.

5. Dress Appropriately: While it isn't necessary to dress formally, business casual attire is usually safe and shows you're taking the interview seriously.

6. Practice: Consider conducting mock interviews with a friend or family member to help you become more comfortable and articulate.

And remember, be yourself! The interview is more about getting to know you as a person, beyond your scores and achievements. Best of luck.
