It is very important that you come to your interview prepared with questions for the interviewers. Having prepared questions shows the panel that you are keenly interested in what they do, specifically, at their university.

Remember that people like to talk about what they know! By having insightful questions prepared, you are setting the stage for the interviewers to tell you many important and helpful details about their process, and their educational facility. Keep the majority of your questions academically related. Asking too much about the culture, social life, and extra-curricular activities may cause you to appear unfocused.

Here are some ideas:

- If you could give me any piece of advice, what would that be?

- Is there anything in my application, or anything that I said in today's interview, that I can clarify for you?

- What is the most important thing I should know about my first week at your school, should I be accepted?

- Can you tell me about some of the exciting opportunities I could take advantage of, should I attend your university?

- What do you feel is the most unique offering at your school, compared to others in the area?

"I would love to learn more about this university, from your perspective. What is the biggest competitive edge you have over your competitors?"

"What would you say that stands out about this University in particular in comparison to any of the other universities?"

Rachelle's Feedback

This question is okay; however, it is knowledge that you should already have, going into your interview. Try to think of 2-3 questions that will be very unique to the interviewer(s). Something that you may not be able to find out from online research.

"What do you think is the school's biggest attribute for its students?"

Marcie's Feedback

This is definitely a great question to ask, but consider asking one to two more. It's important that your questions show that you're eager to learn about the school but that you've also done your research on it. Be sincere - what do you wonder about the experience you'll have at the school? Ask questions that will help you to further determine if this is the right school for you or not. Good job!

"Are there many opportunities or groups relevant to this course that I could take advantage of?

If I were to be accepted, what is the biggest piece of advice you can offer about undertaking this course?"

Marcie's Feedback

Nice! These are good questions to ask. The interviewer will be impressed if you ask questions that show your genuine interest in and curiosity about the school, but avoid asking questions that can be easily answered by a quick online search. Good job!
