When to Interview?

Colleges and Universities A-Z Yale University

<p>Hello. I'm a junior. :)</p>

<p>My guidance counselor told me to start looking into college interviews the end of this year, particularly at Yale since I know it's my first choice. Bear in mind that this is her first year at my school and she's pretty young...</p>

<p>Now, I consider myself pretty knowledgeable about the admissions admissions - I'm the third kid to go through it and I was heavily, heavily involved in both my sisters' college selection and application procedures. However, neither of them interviewed until the mid-late summer of senior year.</p>

<p>With that in mind, do you think it would be advantageous to set up an interview (if it's even available) at the end of this year? What about having two - one next year as well?</p>

<p>if you're doing something cool this summer, then it might be a good idea to set up one at the end of the summer. I had two interviews in the last week of August, one at Harvard, and one at Yale, and both interviewers opened up by asking "What did you do this summer?" Since I did scientific research and community service, it was a great way to segue into my favorite extracurriculars, which happen to be those two. Just my opinion. Good luck.</p>
