The College Interview: Don't Panic

When the phrase college interview comes up most students panic, but quite honestly the interview should be one of the more enjoyable parts of the admissions process because you can learn more about the college and they can discover more about you.  Most students come out of the interview relieved because they realize that the interview is not an interrogation and more of a conversation.  Here are a few essential dos and don’ts to make the most of your interview:



Do

• Do research and prepare to ask questions about the school to demonstrate your interests
• Do bring your resume, transcript, and supplemental material just in case your interviewer asks for additional information
• Do remember simple courtesy (firm hand shake and eye contact)

Don’t

• Don't be late
• Don't respond to questions with just yes and no answers
• Don't be afraid to elaborate on your achievements and interests
• Don't forget to write a thank you note
  

Good Luck!
