College Interviews

<p>Hey, I've never yet had to have an interview. So I was wondering, do the interviewers get to read our applications + essays? Or if they don't, should I send the interviewers a brag sheet or something? And any tips for a first time interviewee?</p>

<p>Thanks & Happy New Year!!!</p>

<p>Depends on whether you get alumni interview (as is most common) or admission officer interview. There's a third type, current student interview, but that's really rare.</p>

<p>I have 2 alumni interviews in the next two weeks, and I'm taking along a resume, my transcript, and some supplementary material (newspaper clips) that I had sent to the colleges already.</p>

<p>I concur with the person above. I don't think alumni interviewers get your application or anything.</p>

<p>it might depend on the college. im almost positive that no one actually reads your application. one of my universities asked me to fill out a sheet with some basic information, which was given to the interviewer read before the interview. others don't even do that. i know some have a statement on their website as to what you should bring. definitely check that</p>

<p>but there really isn't a point of bringing much. why? if it's important, you can find a way to talk about. u don't want to give your interviewer the feeling that ur showing off. that's what the application is for.</p>
