Graduate school Interview query

[zeph22]

Can an interviewee in a graduate school admission interview session ask the faculty why they chose to invite the student to the recruitment weekend?

 

Since the interviewing faculty always ask why the student chose the said school, and chose to interact with the said faculty...can the student ask the converse...

You could..... but you risk looking like you're either insecure about the invite, or fishing for complements, or both.

Honestly they'll usually tell you what they liked/what stood out about your application. If they don't, perhaps frame it more broadly as "what do you look for in applicants" or "what do you feel makes a successful student".
