Ivy Interviews

Applying to College
1

<p>I applied to Harvard, Princeton and Yale. For one of those colleges, I was invited to a regular interview (ie at a coffee shop). For the other two, I was invited to "interview fairs" at local high schools. I have interviewed with a number of non-Ivy schools, and I have never heard of an interview fair.</p>

<p>Can anyone share their experience with an interview fair? Does it mean that a college is more interested in you if they invite you to a regular interview, rather than an interview fair? </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>(Side note: the two with interview fairs in my city are hosting them on the same day.)</p>

<p>No it doesn’t. That’s just what the local alumni council has decided works best. It varies city by city.</p>

<p>At these sessions, they gather many volunteer interviewers and all the local applicants. Then, usually in a panel of 2 or 3 alumni, each kid gets interviewed. Like I said, it varies and there’s no set protocol.</p>
