Hey, I'm prepping for my upcoming university interviews and want to make a great impression. What are some good questions to ask at the end to show I'm seriously interested in their school?
Having some thoughtfully prepared questions can indeed convey your interest in a college during an interview, and it gives you an opportunity to engage further with the interviewer. Here are some potential questions to consider:
1. Can you share some unique traditions that are central to the campus culture?
2. How do students typically engage with professors outside of class?
3. What kind of resources does the school provide for internships or research opportunities?
4. How does the school support the transition from college to career after graduation?
5. How would you describe the community atmosphere on campus?
6. Can you provide some insight into what the school is doing to support diversity and inclusion?
7. What type of student typically thrives here?
8. Could you elaborate on the relationship between the school and the local community?
These questions can help demonstrate your sincere interest in the school. Just remember to relate these back to your interests and reasons for wanting to attend that specific university. Avoid asking information that can easily be found on the college's website and try to make the questions specific to your interests and future plans. Happy prepping!
