Lets face it college admissions are not getting any less competitive and students are constantly looking for ways to differentiate themselves. Some college admissions officers even say that they would rather take a student who took the time to make an impression rather than one with stellar grades and no personality. The good news is that you can make yourself stand out just by scheduling an interview.
Many schools still carry on the traditional "college interview" although many have made this an optional feature. That's great news because it means that not many students are taking the time to schedule this. Seriously, what better way can you think of to show those admissions officers, the ones that will decide your fate, just what a great person you are! I did this, and got into my first choice. Be sure to schedule early so that you can prepare for questions about:
-Your favorite subjects
-Your interests and hobbies
-Your reason for choosing to go to college
-Why you want to go to this particular college
-Your strengths and weaknesses
Those are most likely the questions that will be hurled at you during your interview. Your answers to these are going to leave a lasting impression. One more word of advice would be to come up with some questions of your own about activites and campus life. Who knows, after hearing the answers, you may not want them!
