Someone once said that interviewing is tough, especially if you don't know what you're looking for. Another complicating factor is having no answer to predictable questions–a regrettably common occurrence for higher ed applicants. Amy and Mike invited educator Alison Slater to explore the importance of preparing for a college admissions interview.

What are five things you will learn in this episode?

  1. Why is it important to prepare before an interview?

  2. Are interviews impactful considering that many schools don’t offer them?

  3. Should students who are offered interviews take them?

  4. Who should prep for interviews and when?

  5. How can students prepare for all the interviews they are likely to have coming up?

  6. What are some questions applicants should be prepared for?

MEET OUR GUEST

Alison Slater graduated from Bucknell University and worked in selective college admission for fifteen years. Interviews were her favorite part of the college application process, but she found they were often missed opportunities when students arrived nervous or unprepared. They were checking a box, not maximizing an opportunity. Alison founded Interview Prep to help students make strong impressions by preparing thoughtfully and approaching each interview with confidence and a plan.

Alison can be reached at interviewprepllc.com.
