<p>Hey There,</p>
<p>I am applying to a number of boarding schools, but only doing one campus tour and interview at Concord Academy and then phone interview for all the other schools. </p>
<p>Any advice on doing phone interviews?</p>
<p>Any advice on doing reg. interviews?</p>
<p>My advice is that you have to be confident and TELL THE TRUTH AND DONT BE MODEST. As for phone interview, I guess just try to somewhat plan out what to say. When I did my interview at Choate, I was so nervous that I think I said alot things wrong, and I’m scared that they will think I was lying but I was just nervous. Please try not to make the same mistake

<p>any other tips for phone interview?</p>
<p>seriously guys, I need help!!!</p>
<p>Here is my opinnion about phone interviews, for what it is worth: Don’t do them.</p>
<p>Have an on-campus interview. If you can’t, then have a personal interview with an alum or some other approved interviewer off-campus. If you can’t, then you must have a phone interview, but make sure that you live out of the country and there are no school reps within 300 miles of you. </p>
<p>If you live in the US of A and can’t make the effort to visit the school or meet face-to-face with a school rep off-campus, I doubt the school will make much effort to accept you into its hallowed halls, IMHO.</p>
<p>are you sure? is that true?</p>
<p>can i make up for ding s phone inteeriew if I go to an event at a family’s house that apparently has admission officers and students?</p>
<p>Am I sure? No. Is it true? Don’t know. My views expressed about telephone interviews are just opinions based upon my past experience and general knowledge. You asked. I answered. Take it or leave it. Still, if you interview by phone, you had better have a very good reason for such an interview…IMHO. Why take the time to apply to a school if you won’t take the time to visit that school, to the extent possible?</p>
