Hello! I'm a junior in high school and I'm starting to think about college interviews. I want to make sure I leave a positive impression on the interviewer, but I'm not sure how to do this. Can anyone give me some tips or advice for having a successful college interview? Thank you!
Hey there! It's great that you're thinking ahead about college interviews. Having gone through the process with my own child, I can share some tips that might be helpful for you. First, make sure you're well-prepared by researching the college and its programs, as well as reflecting on your own interests and achievements. This will help you confidently answer questions and show genuine enthusiasm for the school. Dress appropriately for the interview, leaning towards a more professional look. Good eye contact and a firm handshake can also create a positive first impression. During the interview, be yourself and let your personality shine. Showcasing your passion and dedication for your interests will help you stand out. Lastly, don't forget to ask the interviewer a few thoughtful questions about the college or their experiences. This indicates your interest and engagement. Good luck, and remember to relax and enjoy the conversation!
