<p>Modify my previous statement to say that there are two kinds of interviews, those given by volunteer alumni and those given at the school by admission officers. Most schools do not require interviews; but if interviews are recommended, you should take one or it will show a lack of interest. These colleges will waive the interview without hurting your chances if you live far away from the college and they can not find a volunteer alumni interviewer in your area. Most of the college guides say that interviews are informational and not evaluative. You should check with specific colleges to see how they treat interview results. The college guides provide a lot of tips on interviewing. If these tips don't matter so much now (considering how much other stuff is happening), they will be useful for when you apply for a job. Showing up drunk is a no-no. All I know is what I read in the guides.</p>
<p>That wasn't really addressing my point. :)</p>
