I had an amazing interview with a 2nd year student. It was a two way conversation that I really enjoyed. After each answer I gave she would add a little insight or feedback. “You’re right, Rice does sound like a great school for your goals”; “I know a lot of people in that club they have a really tight bond”; “Another thing at Rice that could be really helpful to you is…” She shared her story and really helped me see how Rice helps their students. They questions were standard but we would chat after most of them and there were personal follow-up questions. It was truly an interview for me and for them.
