An admissions interview is a conversation between a prospective student and a representative of an educational institution, such as a college or university. The purpose of this interview is to assess the applicant's suitability for the program and to provide an opportunity for the student to learn more about the institution. It often includes questions about the applicant's background, interests, and goals. During the interview, candidates may be asked to discuss their academic achievements, extracurricular activities, and reasons for choosing that specific institution. This process helps both the admissions team and the applicant determine if the school is a good fit, ultimately influencing the decision-making process for admission.
