College Interview Prep in Aurora, CO
Having worked in the college counseling business since 2006, Great College Advice has a remarkable 16 years of experience in assisting students through every step of the college admissions process. What sets Great College Advice apart is our approach in this facet of the admissions process: we specialize in you. Our collaborative approach, involving one-on-one counseling sessions between you and a specifically matched expert tutor, makes our style of advising a personal relationship.
Getting to know you first enables our team of experts to help present yourself in the best light possible on interview day. While our team at Great College Advice prides itself on our record of success, we value most your individual wins along the college admissions path. Overall, we work to recognize your individual needs and harness your unique potential for college admissions success.
Is a College Interview Required?
Application requirements vary by school; that is where the accountability and organization provided by Great College Advice comes in. We use a best-in-class software platform to ensure you keep track of your target schools’ requirements and deadlines. In terms of the interview step, schools vary; not all of them offer or require it. Staying organized and starting interview prep early ensures you give yourself ample time before deadlines to schedule and prepare for interviews.
Once we get to know you via individual counseling sessions, we can work together to decide whether this step would be beneficial for you to take to improve your admissions chances. Speaking generally, interviewing might provide some value if you want to make up for disappointing test scores or a lower high school GPA. In any case, interviewing could provide the advantage of setting yourself apart from the applicants who opted out.
How Can Great College Advice Help My Interview Success?
Two of our central goals at Great College Advice are that you learn about yourself and capitalize on your potential in the admissions process. For us, the two go hand in hand. In the individual sessions we offer, you will undergo career, academic, and personality assessments which will provide greater insight into what you offer as an applicant. Not just glancing at a resume, we value a deeper look into who you are as a person and in doing so, find assets to highlight in interviews.
The interview is a two-way conversation between you and the admissions officer. Schools will offer you time to ask questions and will want to know what drew you to their program. Why did you choose their college? What aspects of the school would you be curious to know more about? So, in our interview prep approach, becoming well-versed in the schools on your list, as well as knowing what you seek in a school are key steps. Having specifically tailored talking points enables you to deviate from generic responses and make clear your interest in and curiosity in that specific college during the interview.
Numerous Great College Advice all-inclusive packages also provide mock interviews, a step crucial to take in interview prep. The best way to prepare for admissions interviews is to practice with mock interviews. You may have never spoken about your goals, interests, and experiences, especially not to an admissions officer. Having worked with over 2,200 students, our team knows well the commonly asked questions, as well as what talking points and interview etiquette it takes to succeed in the competitive atmosphere of college admissions.
