INTERVIEWING
1) Colleges hold interviews for a couple of different purposes. The most common perception is that interviews are meant to evaluate you. Your interviewer is sizing you up and will report back to the school with their two cents on whether or not you'd be a good fit. For the majority of college interviews, this is mostly true.
2) While a college interviewer doesn't have a huge say in who gets in and who doesn't, they do contribute to the decision by sharing their perception of your personality, strengths, weaknesses, and goals.
