Make an Impression at your Admission Interview-Practice Makes Perfect

Colleges and private schools offer admission interviews to give students the opportunity to show that they are truly invested in applying there, and will do whatever it takes to gain admission. It is important to show off one’s best characteristics and feel confident in interviews, and interview coaching is the best way to gain these skills. As the following article states, preparing for interviews is the best way to make a favorable impression.

Top 10 myths of college admissions

Myth #4: Interviews don’t really count.
Most large colleges – and all the Ivy League schools – have done away with on-campus interviews. (Many do, however, offer alumni interviews.) If a college offers the opportunity for an interview, it is not really “optional.” It is a must do.
Failure to take advantage of an interview sends a message to the college that you’re not really that interested in the school. And because there are lots of kids with credentials similar to yours, colleges will absolutely prefer a student who does an interview over someone who doesn’t. Similarly, colleges will react more positively to a student who has spent some time thinking about why a particular college interests them and why they are right for that school. Which means: do some homework and practice for the interview. You don’t want to sound robotic, but you also don’t want to suggest that you haven’t given real thought to why you want to attend that college.
