Hey guys, I'm a junior and I've heard that some colleges offer interviews as part of the application process. How important are these interviews? Do they really make a difference in the admissions process? Thanks for any insights!
Hey there! I understand your curiosity about college interviews. My child went through the same process, and I can share our experience. College interviews can be important, but their significance varies depending on the college and their application evaluation process. For some colleges, interviews are just a way to get to know the applicant better and put a face to the application. For others, they might carry more weight in the decision-making process. In general, I'd say interviews can be a great opportunity for you to show your personality, interests, and enthusiasm for the college. They can help you stand out from other applicants and demonstrate your genuine interest in attending that particular college. So, while they might not be the most important factor in your application, they can definitely be beneficial. Good luck with your college applications, and I hope this helps!
