Colleges either offer informative or evaluative interviews. The former means that colleges want to get to know you more and offer you the chance to get to know them more. However, ‘evaluative’ interviews mean that your performance during the interview will affect your admission decision. Also, while most colleges offer an interview, you will be given the option to choose between an in-person interview and a virtual one. However, there may be a couple of those that would only invite students for an on-campus or in-person interview.

Moreover, while some colleges offer an open interview schedule that gives you plenty of options, others will only provide an interview once you have submitted your application to them. Therefore, if you are certainly applying for an Early Action or Early Decision, ensure that you have appeared for the college interviews before your application in case they allow it. This will help them view all parts of the application together, including your interview performance.
