College Interviews

COUNSELOR TIP: Be Prepared! Be on Time (10 minutes early)! Be Yourself!

Do your research. Visit the college/university’s website or review the school’s catalogue. Look at the list of courses the programs you are interested in are offering. Prepare a list of questions you would like to ask. Spend some time thinking about how you might answer certain questions that come up. Remember, you don’t need to have a full presentation prepared for each question that is asked. You just want to make sure you are anticipating topics that might be covered. The interview is NOT a test and there are no trick questions. The purpose of the interview is to give the admissions officer a chance to see aspects of you that are not reflected in your application. Relax and be yourself!
