The College Interview
The Basics
A college interview is a chance to show that you're more than just test scores and grades. It's an exchange of information—you learn about the college and the college learns about you. It can last anywhere from 30-60 minutes.
There's More Than One Type of Interview
Interviews vary depending on the school, student, and particular situation. You could find yourself interviewing with an admissions officer, a student, or an alumnus. Other, less formal, interview situations include group information sessions with admissions staff and current students, and high school and local college fairs. If you plan on attending a music, drama, or dance school, plan on performing an audition or submitting a portfolio.
Special-Interest Sessions
If you plan to pursue specific interests in college, such as sports or clubs, you might find it helpful talk to current students and faculty members.
