<p>Hi i am planning to have an interview next week</p>
<p>And without saying, the school has scheduled me a phone interview
But i really do want a skype interview instead</p>
<p>Do you think it is okay for me to email or contact them
And ask if I can chane my interview to skype?</p>
<p>I was also wondering if there is a difference between phone and skype interview</p>
<p>Oh and why would they, by any chance, not want to have a skype interview? Is it more work for the schools?</p>
<p>You should ask the school if a Skype interview can be set up instead, telling them you’d prefer it that way and see if it’s alright with them.</p>
<p>I have had several Skype interviews before as well as meeting the interviewer in person. I like talking to my interviewer face-to-face, so I prefer meeting my interviewer in person or have it on Skype. I’m sorry I cannot give you much insight on this since I’ve never had a phone interview before. I’m pretty positive that most schools can schedule a Skype interview for you, depending what schools. Most schools that I know of would set up a Skype interview (their preference) if the interviewer cannot meet the students/interviewees in person.</p>
<p>Good luck with your interview and application!</p>
<p>okay this is what i emailed to the schools</p>
<p>Dear XXXXXX Admissions Office,</p>
<p>Hi my name is XXXXXX, an applicant for XXXXXXX 2011. I am so excited to hear that my application is now completed and is able to process forward.</p>
<p>Also, thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to interview with the school (Feb 24rd 11:30 a.m./ phone)! However, I was wondering if the school offers skype interview, and if so, if the school able to schedule me, instead of a phone interview, an skype interview. I know I don’t have a choice to offer and put my preference into the decision, but I do rather prefer to see the interviewer face-to-face. (My skype user name is: XXXXXXX)</p>
<p>Again, it is truly an honor for me to even receive a chance to interview with XXXXXX, and if Skype is not permitted for me with any circumstances and reasons, I understand. But I really do want to have a skype interview, and was wondering if you can please consider my preference.</p>
<p>I apperciate your understanding and consideration regarding the issue during such busy times. Have a nice day!</p>
<p>Sincerely
XXXXXXXX</p>
<p>Does this sound okay?</p>
<p>Yes, sounds fine to me. Don’t stress over it too much. Enjoy the process. Skype or phone interview wouldn’t make too much of a difference in the long run. Good luck!</p>
