Howdy! I've been hearing a lot about interviews for Northwestern University and I'm kinda anxious. Does everyone get an interview for Northwestern or is it only for certain applicants?
Hey there! An interview for Northwestern University is actually not a requirement for all applicants, but it can be a valuable opportunity for both the applicant and the university to get to know each other better. Interviews are typically offered on a first-come, first-serve basis and are contingent on volunteer alumni interviewer availability. There may be some geographical limitations as well, which means not every applicant will be granted an interview.
If you're not offered an interview, don't panic! It doesn't necessarily indicate anything negative about your application. The Admissions Office understands that not all applicants will have the chance for an interview and will not hold it against you in the admissions process. Just focus on submitting the best application you can, and remember that the interview is only one small part of the process. Good luck!
