College Interviews: Questions to Expect and How to Prepare
College interviews give you a chance to show personality, enthusiasm, and fit that your written application cannot fully convey.
Common Questions
Why this school? What are your academic interests? Tell me about yourself. What would you contribute to campus? Prepare thoughtful answers but do not memorize scripts.
Preparation Tips
Research the school thoroughly. Prepare 2-3 questions to ask your interviewer. Practice with a friend or family member. Dress neatly but not formally.
During the Interview
Be genuine and conversational. Make eye contact. Ask follow-up questions. Send a thank-you email within 24 hours.
