<p>so during my junior year i visited like 8 colleges and had interviews with admissions counselors at like four or so, but i don't know if they were like the official interviews that they look at for acceptance. does anyone else know? does there have to be specific notice that an official interview is taking place, or was that it pretty much? not that i like bombed any, but i just wished i would've known if they were part of my admission.</p>
<p>they are, fyi
but the weight given to them is variable, especially since they were junior year interviews</p>
