What kinds of questions are typically asked in a Brandeis college interview?

Brandeis interviews are usually conversational and meant to help the school get a better sense of you beyond the application. The questions tend to be pretty standard college interview questions, with some emphasis on fit, curiosity, and how you engage with ideas.

You should be ready for questions like: tell me about yourself, why Brandeis, what academic subjects interest you, what you do outside class, and what experiences have shaped you. They may also ask about a meaningful activity, a challenge you faced, a community you are part of, or how you would contribute to campus.

You may also get questions such as: what are you looking for in a college community, how do you handle disagreement, what kind of classes or programs interest you at Brandeis, or what you hope to explore in college even if you are undecided. If your application has a clear theme, they might ask you to expand on it.
