<p>Well I heard that interviews help you get into colleges that might be a reach for you. Is that true that it realy does make a big difference in the admissions process?
Also what are some of the common questions they talk about?
Btw is it big a job interview.... whole suit tie thing? Or just reg clothes?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Interviews generally don't make much of a difference, they are one of the smallest factors at most schools and seem to be used more to confirm ECs, show passion, etc. Plus to gauge your fit for the school...</p>
<p>actually at some schools like Rice it's considered an "important" factor in admissions since it shows your interest in that school</p>
<p>in general, its almost like not having it.
Its more of a waste of time, because they dont learn more from your interview than what you put in your application. You can do it, but it really doesnt do much</p>
<p>a lot of schools now only do informational interviews and give those only little weight.</p>
<p>nikon: different schools have different policies. What you should do is post this question on the respective school's sub forums. Good luck</p>
<p>How long does it take to schedule an interview?</p>
