I'm applying to Pace University this year and would like to know if they offer any kind of interview process. Are interviews common there, or is it mostly based on the application materials?
Yes, Pace University does offer admission interviews. These interviews are optional with the exception of the School of Performing Arts, which requires an audition/interview. Interviews are designed to be informative for both you and the school. During the interview, you'll have the opportunity to share more about yourself, your interests, and why you're interested in Pace.
On the other side, the interview is also a chance for you to ask questions about the university and its programs. It can really help to clarify whether the school will be a good fit for you. But remember, the school primarily bases their decisions on the materials you submit when applying.
Given the potential benefits, I'd recommend scheduling an interview if you're comfortable with it. It can be a productive way to express your enthusiasm for the school, ask any specific questions you might have, and perhaps give your application that extra personal touch.
