The importance of scheduling a college interview
October 17, 2011
College interviews may seem a bit old-fashioned, and many students who get into college may never need to set foot in an admissions office. If you're putting the final touches on your college applications and there's a school or two at the top of your list, an interview may make or break your chances of being accepted.
According to HowToGetIn.com, most colleges conduct in January and February when they are preparing to make their final decisions on applications. You should prepare for this interview in the same way as you would for a potential job - dress the part, speak calmly and clearly and, most important, be confident.
For the most part, the interview questions will range from asking about your knowledge of the university, why you'd like to attend and your goals and aspirations for the future. Ideally, it's best to practice a few of these questions in a "mock" interview with a close friend to feel comfortable in the setting.
Along with researching college scholarships and grants, an interview could be one of the most important steps in your application process to improve your chances of acceptance.
