<p>simply put, how are we going to do interviews, I am currently in Canada</p>
<p>Well, you request one (special form, email) like American students do. A lot of schools have alumni in foreign countries, they'll conduct interviews. If not, some schools also offer interviews over the phone or simply forms that ask you to answer interview-style questions.</p>
<p>so basicly I don need to travel oversea to do interviews generally?</p>
<p>No you don't.
There will be an alumnus in your town (or one close to yours). He'll be conducting your interview.</p>
<p>oh, that will be a great news to me since I am good at those interviews</p>
<p>BTW, how much does a interview count? will that help me significantly if I do good in it?</p>
<p>I don't think any of us can really say... however, as for my own experience, I applied to four schools with comparably high (well, low) acceptance rates, and the only one that waitlisted (as in opposed to admitted) me was the one where I could not have an interview, so... I also think it really depends on the school; size, etc.</p>
<p>The interview doesn't count for much. If two applicants are borderline, the advantage goes to the one who performed better during the interview.</p>
