Hey, quick question - how often do colleges invite students for admissions interviews? Is it something I should expect or is it pretty rare? Thanks!
The frequency of college admissions interviews varies depending on the institution. For highly competitive schools, particularly private ones, interviews are more common and sometimes even expected. However, for the majority of colleges and universities, interviews are not a standard part of the admissions process. In some cases, schools may offer optional or regional interviews as a way for students to demonstrate interest and learn more about the institution. It's always a good idea to research each school's specific admissions process to understand their interview policies. Best of luck!
