College Interview Essentials: So....you think you can interview?

by Peggy Marx, Kyrie O'Connor, Max Farinato (Illustrator)

Gaining admission into a college or university is more competitive than ever. Even if you have achieved a stellar grade point average, piled up community service hours, and knocked your written application out of the park, are you truly prepared for the one-on-one interview? You are one of many charming, articulate, and intelligent students—how are you going to stand out from the crowd?

This guide is how. CIC ( College Interview Counselors / Career Interview Coaches, LLC ) writers have been involved with top-level college admission interviews for over twenty-five years, and they’re ready to arm you with everything you need to know concerning communication and self-marketing. Remember, the interview is your single opportunity to impress the admissions committee in a live, one-on-one interaction. And, the post-interview write-up is included in your application file and could make or break your admission chances.

Given the texting, e-mailing, and online commenting of today’s world, your face-to-face engagement skills might not be as excellent as you suspect. So, let Peggy Nash Marx and Kyrie O’Connor help you sharpen those skills. Their advice is easy to understand, humorous, and effective. You’ll not just be ready for your interviews, but also eager to sit down with your top college choices and make yourself a clear selection for admissions.

Short and Fast

This book contains the most important information succinctly and has provided me with many important tips. The authors clearly have experience.

Not a huge fan of this book. It did not provide granular advice (a lot of common sense knowledge), and it is not definitely not helpful for cramming. There are some good big picture ideas (knowing yourself, knowing your strengths) though.
