Why Interviews Matter

Why Interviews Matter in University Admissions

For most students, the interview is the part of the application process that they are most nervous about, but also the part in which they spend the least amount of time preparing for.

Knoweldge Isn't Enough

Interview formats, processes, and content differ significantly worldwide and for many universties, academic ability is not enough.

Communication Matters

How you explain your thinking is just as important as your answer.

Confidence Can be Practiced

Interview skills improve dramatically with preparation.
