The function and significance of the interview in the college admissions process varies from school to school. While large universities have moved away from the interview, smaller, private colleges may require an interview. In this case, the interview may be evaluative, but it rarely weighs significantly in an admission decision. It is an opportunity to get to know you personally. Admissions interviews generally look at three areas while interviewing students. They are looking at you as (1) a possible student at their school, (2) how you react to the campus and what it offers, and (3) what your chances are for admission. Make sure you visit the college's website to determine their policy regarding interviews.
