Introduction to Prepare for a College Interview

When you’re choosing between colleges, getting as much information as you can about each one can help you make the best decision.

One way to learn more about a particular school is by setting up a college interview.

During an interview, you meet with a person or group of people that represent the school, like an admissions representative or an alumnus.

Some schools may recommend or require an interview as part of the application process or for admission into certain degree programs, and some may allow you to schedule an interview during a campus visit.

An interview gives you the chance to learn more about the college, ask questions, and see what the school is like.

It also gives the college a chance to ask you questions to get to know you better.
