Many colleges suggest, but do not require, interviews for applicants. Interviews allow a student to show or further provide information that may not come across in a written application.
College interviews are conducted in a variety of ways including:
Alumni interviews – (the most common) student meets in person with an alumnus/alumna of the college.
Video interviews – (common for international applicants) conducted via third party platforms like Initial View or Vericant where a proctor conducts and records an interview and sends it electronically to a college.
Ivy Talent’s consultants provide strategies and one-on-one preparation to help a student practice questions and adequately prepare for each type of college interview. Full mock interviews provide time to practice technique and receive feedback on how to improve.
