3. Admission interview

Why is a college interview important?

An interview is a chance for you to meet with someone who represents the college.
It's a great way to show your interest in the college, to start a relationship with
people there and to show what you're all about. Here are some types of questions
you may encounter and tips for answering them.

Questions about your fit with a college

Interviewers may ask questions like these:

 Why do you want to attend our college?
 What can you contribute to our college campus?
Why they ask: They want to know that you're really interested in their college.
They also want to know what you can bring to the campus.
 Your answer strategy: college-fit questions

Talk about what you've learned about the college and why you feel it's the right
place for you. (Remember that you have to research a college ahead of time to
answer this type of question well.) Discuss your extracurricular activities and
achievements that show your character.
Questions about your personality

Interviewers may ask questions like these:

 What three adjectives best describe you?
 What are your strengths and weaknesses?
Why they ask: They want to see that you can think and speak about yourself.
Your answer strategy: personality questions

Give examples of how your chosen adjectives describe you. Talk about how you've
used your strengths to accomplish something. Talk about how you overcome your
weaknesses. For example, you can say, "I have a hard time learning new languages,
so I set aside more time to study them."
Questions about activities, interests and goals

Interviewers may ask questions like these:

 What activities do you find most rewarding?
 What is your favorite book?
 What do you want to do after graduating from college?
Why they ask: They want to get to know you better and learn about what's
important to you.
Your answer strategy: interests questions

Think about the why: Why are those activities the most rewarding? Why is a book
your favorite? If you have a major in mind, talk about why you're interested in that
subject. Discuss how you think college can help you meet your goals. Be sincere
and honest in your answer — don't say things just to impress the interviewer.
Wide-ranging questions

Interviewers may ask some broader questions. For example:

 If you had a thousand dollars to give away, what would you do with it?
 What's your opinion on the immigration debate (or another topic in the
news)?
 If you could change one thing about your school, what would it be?
Why they ask: They want to see that you are informed and curious and a careful
thinker.
Your answer strategy: broader questions

Stay up-to-date on news and current events. Do you have strong opinions on certain
issues? Can you explain your position? Try to spell out your system of values to
yourself and think about how you apply it.
More college interview tips

 Have a conversation. Don't try to memorize a script.

 Ask questions. Do express your interest in the college.
 Be yourself. Don't try to answer questions based on what you think the
interviewer wants to hear.
 Prepare. Do practice interviews with friends or family. Take turns asking
questions.

Help your students put their best foot forward

A college interview is an opportunity for your students to talk about their goals and experiences.
Here are some ways you can help your students feel more confident about interviewing.

Interview facts
First, make sure your students know what the admission interview means to the college and
what it is intended to accomplish. There are two basic kinds of college interview. If students
plan to (or are required to) interview, they should find out which type of interview the college is
offering them.

The evaluative interview is intended to help the institution assess the student as a candidate.
The interviewer speaks with the student, takes notes and reports all impressions to the
admission committee. This evaluation becomes part of the student's application file.
Interviewers are often admission officers but may be faculty members or alumni.

The informational interview is intended to give the student information about the institution.
This can be a one-on-one talk with a college representative or a group information session for
applicants. Interviewers may be admission officers but might also be faculty members, alumni or
even current students at the college.

Although the informational interview's main purpose is to answer student questions about the
college, it is quite possible that the college representative will also evaluate the student and
pass an opinion on to the admission committee. Students should therefore always be aware of
the impression they are making.

Interviews of either kind can take place on or off campus (for example, the college may match
up applicants with alumni interviewers who live in the same area).

Few colleges require an interview. Many offer evaluative or informational interviews as an

option. Some institutions do not offer interviews at all. These include some public universities
whose applicant pools are so large that offering interviews to all candidates is not feasible, and
also some private colleges.
Benefits of the interview
Tell your students that it's usually to their benefit to interview if interviewing is an option.
Interviewing is one more way for a student to display a strong interest in a college, and it lets the
interviewer get to know the personality behind the grades and test scores.

An interview is also a chance for borderline students to present themselves as winning

candidates by virtue of sincerity or their personality, and to explain any extenuating
circumstances that affected academic performance and describe the ways they will contribute to
the college.

How you can help

Help students practice interviewing; play the part of a college admission interviewer and ask
them to talk about their high school experiences and college goals. Point out their interview
strengths as well as what they need to work on.

Many young people have had little experience in formal or businesslike situations. Acquaint
students with interviewing basics such as making eye contact, smiling and shaking hands.

1. Consider the type of interview you can expect

University admissions interviews are generally either evaluative or

informative. Evaluative interviews can be expected in order to gain admission to particularly
prestigious universities such as Oxbridge. In this instance, your performance in the interview
will be considered when the university admissions officers decide whether to offer you a
place. In an informativeinterview, you have the opportunity to find out more about the
university, while the university also finds out more about you. In this case, the university
admissions officers may be just as keen to impress you, as you are to impress them, because
they want you to choose their institution. Of course, your university interview may include both
evaluative and informative elements.

2. Think about how you can stand out

University admissions interviewers are likely to be meeting a large number of candidates, so

you need to think about how you can stand out and leave a good impression. When interviewers
ask you to tell them about yourself (a question that is likely to come up, in some form), try to
respond with something memorable. This is your chance to convey your passion for your
chosen subject, your future ambitions, and the qualities you possess that will ensure your
academic success.

3. Re-read your personal statement

The tutors interviewing are also likely to refer to things you’ve mentioned in your personal
statement or application essay, whether it’s about a certain hobby or a claim about one of your
achievements. (This is one reason why it’s very important to be honest!) Have another look at
what you wrote and consider any related questions that might come up in the interview, such as
questions about particular books you’ve referred to, or areas of academic interest.

4. Re-read the course information

It’s also a good idea to take a look back at the university’s prospectus or official website for full
information on how the course is structured, what the entry requirements are and what optional
modules are offered, amongst other guidance. This will help you show that you’ve researched
the course thoroughly, and could also help you form some useful questions to ask the
admissions officers – there is usually an opportunity to do this, even in a performative interview.
Make sure the questions you ask haven’t already been covered in the published course
information.

5. Plan some answers to common university interview questions

As well as ‘tell me about yourself’, it’s highly likely that you’ll be asked why you want to study
this particular course at this particular university. If you’re studying abroad, your interviewer may
also be interested in asking why you want to study in the particular country, and what attracted
you to studying abroad. You should show your interviewer that you’re enthusiastic about your
subject and very keen on their university; be as specific as you can.

However, while some forward planning is recommended, try not to overdo it! Allow your answers
to flow naturally, rather than sounding too rehearsed. This is certainly easier said than done, but
try to relax during the interview and be yourself.

6. Know your subject

You should be well-prepared to explain to your interviewer why you’re interested in your chosen
subject, and outline your motivations for enrolling in your chosen course. In addition, you can
demonstrate your interest by reading up on the latest news, research and developments in the
field. You may be asked specifically about some of these issues, or you may simply be able to
draw on them as examples.

7. Practice with a friend

If this is your first proper interview or you’re simply very nervous, it might help to sit down with a
friend or family member and do a practice run of the most common university interview
questions. This should highlight any questions you need to go back to and think about again, or
if you have a habit of saying ‘um’ too much!

8. Dress appropriately

Although university admission interviews are often fairly informal, it is much better to be dressed
up than dressed down! Wear clothes you would wear for a formal job interview – something
smart and comfortable, and you’ll make a good first impression.

9. Arrive early

If you’re attending an admissions interview in person (rather than via Skype, for example),
make sure you know exactly where you’re going and how long it takes to get there, and allow
plenty of time. You should aim to arrive around 10-15 minutes early.

10. Take a deep breath, and smile!

This is definitely easier said than done, but try not to worry too much. Remember that the
university interview is usually not considered on its own when it comes to accepting you as a
student. And also remember that the admissions officers have clearly been impressed with you
so far to offer you an interview, so they’re seriously considering offering you a place. Even if
you’re feeling terrified on the inside, force yourself to smile – it will make you feel better, and
help to show your interviewers that you’re excited about the opportunity.

4. Dictation
