"What Do You Do In Your Free Time?" - College Interview Tips

Selective colleges and universities want students who have more to offer than just strong academic skills. A thriving campus community is much more than a group of straight 'A' students. Your college interviewer is going to try to find out what you will bring to the school that isn't reflected by your grades and test scores. So, when asked what you do for fun in your free time, make sure you have an answer that paints a positive picture. No one will be impressed if you state that your favorite pastime is chillin' or watching TV. For advice on how to approach this question, check out these college interview tips.
