Skype Interview with WUSTL

Just got an email from WUSTL requesting a Skype interview. Any advice? My interview is this Friday the 12th.

    It is super casual and relaxed! I would be prepared to answer questions about why you want to go to law school, what you are looking for in a law school, what challenges you anticipate and possibly future career plans (if you know or have an idea!). Mine was a conversation and informal. Be yourself and be confident about wanting to go to law school and you will kill it. I heard back a week later.

    Anyway, just be prepared for some basic questions like why law, why wustl, etc. it's laid-back, as the person above said.

    Yea I got it today. I applied ED so that could be why the timeline is different for us.

    Wow - I didn't know law schools conducted Skype interviews. if it were me, I'd practice in front of a mirror, unless you are comfortable being interviewed. I'd also request any question ahead of time, and review the application you submitted. Good Luck!

    The Skype interview is very relaxed and casual. It's basically exactly what you would expect a law school interview would be. They will ask you why you want to go to Wash U. They will ask you about specific things on your resume/application. Just be genuine and, if you haven't already, do some research about Wash U and St. Louis. Good luck!

    Practice ahead of time in front of a camera. Record yourself and adjust your body language and tone accordingly. You want to be seen as confident and competent!

    Wishing you the best :)

    They asked me if I had been to St Louis before and if I hade ever lived outside my home town.
