<p>Call this a stupid question, but two of the college I want to apply to require an interview. I plan to email both people, since that was the recommended method of contacting them, but I can't really find a way of asking for an interview that doesn't sound obnoxious.</p>
<p>I don't really understand what the problem is....the schools require an interview, they tell you to email the interviewer to set up an appointment.....so why would the interviewer think that you're being obnoxious???</p>
<p>In your email, just introduce yourself, say that you have applied to X school and would like to arrange a time and place to meet for an interview. Short and to the point, no need to be long winded.</p>
