Dear LSB,

Connect 121 is new, so I'm not that familiar with it yet. From what I gather on the website, it is not necessarily your interview for admission. But then it would not surprise me if some schools use it that way. It looks like you have an opportunity to get a dedicated slot to meet with a representative from a school and schools have selected you based on your profile. Thus you will want to make the most of this time to give a positive first impression. Believe me, they will make notes on you so you want to be engaging, professional, and thoughtful in your questions. I would basically liken this to an informational interview for a job search; so go in with prepared questions that you cannot answer from the schools' websites. It will probably be more of an informal discussion, but I would dress professionally and conduct yourself accordingly.

Good luck and have fun!
Lisa

Thanks, LSB. That was helpful and I'm excited it was worthwhile. I hope others see your post and take advantage of Connect 121 if they get an opportunity.
