10 College Interview Tips from a YALE ADMISSIONS INTERVIEWER!

[@ellis6880]

Such great tips! As the interview goes on, is it recommended that we ask questions (like one would with a conversation), or should we refrain from that and wait till the end (when the interviewer asks if we have any questions for them)

[@ArnoldSetiadi]

Great question! I would say it really depends on the vibe and the specific interviewer. :) Initially, mainly focus on answering the questions they ask but if the time feels right, don't be afraid to authentically engage and ask them questions!

I’m scheduled for my Dartmouth interview this Saturday! Obviously I have questions prepared but what do you recommend asking that has stood out to you in your interviews?

[@ArnoldSetiadi]

Hi Nayeli! :) Anything where the student seems genuinely interested in the university as well as my experiences! Make sure you do your research, keep an open mind, and ask away! For example, you could ask about an academic or extracurricular program that you want to study, etc.

What are my chances of getting interviewed as an international student? Btw, love your videos

[@ArnoldSetiadi]

Hi Still Rocking, thanks so much for your kind words! :) It *really* depends on your specific country as well as region as even certain areas have limited schools with access to Yale alumni. Sorry I can't be more helpful!

I received a Dartmouth interview email, but myself English-speaking proficiency isn't good, should I go for it. please reply

[@ArnoldSetiadi]

Hi Yassin, do what you're comfortable with! You can also tell your interviewer that your English proficiency isn't the best - I'm sure they'd be understanding. :)
