What can I expect from a college interview?

Hello everyone, I'm a junior and I'm a bit nervous about the prospect of college interviews. Can anyone who has gone through this process share what I can expect and any tips for making a good impression? Thanks so much!

Hi there! I can understand that college interviews can be a bit nerve-wracking, but they're a great opportunity for you to showcase your personality and what makes you unique. The interviewers are generally looking to get a sense of who you are beyond your application, so try to relax and be yourself. They may ask questions about your interests, goals, and how you handle challenges. To make a good impression, it's a good idea to do some research on the college beforehand and think about why you're interested in attending. This will help you come across as genuinely interested and well-prepared. Additionally, practice answering common interview questions and think about how you can connect your experiences to what the college values. Don't forget to dress professionally and be on time! Finally, don't be afraid to ask questions about the college as well. Good luck, and I'm sure you'll do great!
