August DipTip: The Ins and Outs of Interviewing. Franklin and Marshall College. 1.8.2018.
While your application, essays and recommendations give the school a pretty good idea about who you are as a student and a person, they are no substitute for a face-to-face meeting where you can talk about your interests and goals. General guidelines: be on time, dress appropriately, ask questions, find out about the school and its programs, be prepared to talk about yourself, and relax.
