What should I expect from a college admissions interview?

What should I expect from a college admissions interview?

Sep 14, 2018 | Applications, Education, Students

How to prepare for college interviews Overall, interviews are an opportunity for a college to get more information about you in a more informal, personal setting. Think of it this way: The only real information they have on you is a big folder of documents — your...

Instagram post 2196741472145729197_10962808722 The Common App additional information section is an optional 650-word essay in which you can share any information that didn't fit into the rest of your application. There is a lot of confusion about why and how you should write this essay, so here are a few rules of thumb to help you out: 1. Only write an additional information section if it's necessary. Don't use this space to brag or write "fluff" essays. 2. Keep your essay short and sweet. Even though the word limit is capped at 650, you should by no means feel like you need to take up that much space. 100-300 words is an acceptable amount for this essay. 3. You can discuss health issues, special family or living circumstances, or unusual grading systems at your school. Doing so can shed a light on why your grades might not be as high as you (or your prospective college) would want, 4. Alternatively, you can take this space to expand on awards, honors, or activities that either weren't listed or weren't done justice in the rest of your application. #commandeducation #SAT #ACT #SATprep #ACTprep #ivyleageadmissions #ivyleague #tutoring #mentoring #collegeconsulting #privatetutoring #nearpeermentorship #college #university #education #collegelife #inspiration #motivation #passion #love #life • • Command Education specializes in creating a custom roadmap to help students as early as 7th grade pursue their passions and achieve incredible results that help them gain admissions to their dream colleges. •
Instagram post 2195920354468543869_10962808722 You should write about an issue you feel passionately about, but be wary of “hot topic” issues. For instance, many seniors this year will likely write about climate change. While there’s nothing inherently wrong with writing about that, it will be difficult to write a standout essay on a topic that’s trending on Instagram. If you’re truly more passionate about climate change than any other issue, it’s okay to write about it, but make sure you focus on the unique ways you personally fight climate change. If you want to cite some leaders within the movement, mention people like Isra Hirsi and Xiye Bastida instead of more famous people like Greta Thunberg to show how deeply engaged you are with the issue. #commandeducation #SAT #ACT #SATprep #ACTprep #ivyleageadmissions #ivyleague #tutoring #mentoring #collegeconsulting #privatetutoring #nearpeermentorship #college #university #education #collegelife #inspiration #motivation #passion #love #life • • Command Education specializes in creating a custom roadmap to help students as early as 7th grade pursue their passions and achieve incredible results that help them gain admissions to their dream colleges. •
Instagram post 2195395107363826184_10962808722 UCs make up five of the top ten public universities of the US. But what exactly is the UC system and what makes it so special? The University of California is a group of ten universities, nine of which offer undergraduate degrees. The UC began in 1869 with just 10 faculty members and 38 students. Today, the UC system educates more than 280,000 students every year and employs and more than 227,000 faculty and staff. Even though the UC system was created by and for Californians, students from around the U.S. and the world pursue an education at UCs. Each UC has a different specialty, but they all have a high-quality education. The UCs have been nicknamed "public ivies" because the reputation of schools like UCLA and UC Berkeley is on par with other elite private institutions. Beyond incredible courses and professors, UCs offer dozens of museums, concert halls, art galleries, botanical gardens, observatories and marine centers. #commandyourfuture #commandeducation #SAT #ACT #SATprep #ACTprep #ivyleageadmissions #ivyleague #tutoring #mentoring #collegeconsulting #privatetutoring #nearpeermentorship #college #university #education #collegelife #inspiration #motivation #passion #love #life #UCs #UCLA #Cal #UCBerkeley #UCSB #UCI #UCDavis #UCSD • • • Command Education specializes in creating a custom roadmap to help students as early as 7th grade pursue their passions and achieve incredible results that help them gain admissions to their dream colleges. •

Instagram post 2193769400729697979_10962808722 College interview season is upon us! If this is your first serious interview, check out these frequently asked questions: 👔What should I wear? You should wear business or business casual attire. But finding the sweet spot between sweats and a suit is not always intuitive; some safe options are a modest dress, a blouse and skirt, a button-up dress shirt or polo shirt with dark jeans or pants. 🗣What will we talk about? Expect questions like “What do you like about X college?” or “What makes you a good fit for Y university?”. That being said, be careful not to memorize some long-winded list about the twelve reasons you and this college are a perfect match. It’s good to be prepared, but you don’t want to sound over-rehearsed. Keep things light and natural. 🙋‍♀️Can I ask questions? Yes! You should ask questions that engage your interviewer regarding their own experience at the college — for instance, if they’re an alumnus, ask them broadly about their experience at the school. That might lead to a more interesting conversation, but if it doesn’t, ask deeper questions pertaining to your own desires to go to the school. Eg: “What's one thing you wish you knew before you got to campus?” “What's one thing that's missing from X college that you wish it had?” “When did you know you picked the right major?” If you have more questions, check out the link in our bio.

Instagram post 2192410445705722553_10962808722 Albert Einstein once said "If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician.
