<p>I have a college interview coming up, for one of my top choice schools. however, i did not go college visiting at all to any colleges. my parents felt that me accompanying my sister to her college visits (three years ago) was enough. </p>
<p>if my interviewer asks me if i've visited the campus is there a way i can say i haven't without bombing the interview?</p>
<p>yes. tell them you’ve been busy/it’s too far away/your parents didn’t have time off/ the truth lol. I had a great interview with a school I didn’t visit (although, considering it’s over a thousand miles away, I don’t think I was expected to)</p>
<p>the problem is, the school is only about half an hour away from where i live…am i completely screwed?</p>
<p>go visit it in the next day or two? what school is it? (you don’t have to answer for privacy reasons)</p>
<p>If the school is only half an hour away, can’t you just say you didn’t formally visit because you pass by it almost everyday?</p>
<p>I didn’t visit most of my colleges for a variety of reason. The conversation never came up in any of my interviews, and when it did, I usually just answered it by saying “No, I never visited, but I’ve always wanted to though! I heard that XYZ College just recently…” or “I heard that there is this new dorm/library…” and usually the interview move on to other topics after that.</p>
