Admission College Interview

The evaluative admission interview is intended to help the institution assess the student as a candidate. The interviewer converses with the student, takes notes and reports to the admission committee for final decision. Face-to-face is the last chance to prove as the best choice for a particular course. You should project yourself as an earnest student who is serious about the education.

Things you need to keep in mind while you gear up for an interview:

Do Your Homework

Prepare yourself for what you will say? How you’ll present yourself? Prepare yourself for every kind of question that can come your way. Don’t fumble during the interview.

  • Learn about the college you’re applying to,
  • The course you’ve applied for,
  • The faculty that would teach you and also
  • The country that the college is located in.
Calm your Nerves
Reaching interview stage is the result of your good grades and good job with your essay/ SOP! The admissions committee of the college wants to meet you because they already like you and want to know you better, in person!
Ask Questions, it’s good!

It’s good to ask intelligent questions to your interviewers! It shows your interest in the college and that you respect what the interviewers have to tell you.

A word of caution: Do not pose over-smart or arrogant, when you put across your questions.A word of caution: Do not pose over-smart or arrogant, when you put across your questions.

Dress up professionally
The perfect attire for a face-to-face interview is the same in almost every country: stick to formals.
Make it a conversation

You smartly manoeuvre the interview to your advantage. Your interview should be like a whiff of fresh air, different yet impressive.

Another word of caution: This does not mean that you will sit back, cross your legs and strike up a casual conversation! Maintain the formal atmosphere.

Talk to Students already studying there
Try getting in touch with existing students as they have already undergone the same procedure to get into the college and can also give you practical tips to face the interview, give insights about the college activities.
Do not give run-of-the-mill answers
To stand out from the crowd, you need to be yourself and give your opinion and your own answers. That’s the only way you can make a distinct impression.

Basic interview questions you SHOULD be equipped to handle:

  • Why do want to study in this college?
  • Why this particular course?
  • Tell us something about yourself (This question will never go out of style!)
  • What other colleges have you applied to?
  • How can you add value to this course and class?
  • Your strengths/weaknesses?
  • Where do you see yourself 5/10/15 years from now?
  • Your interests/hobbies/ achievements?
  • Do you have any questions for us?
