How important is the interview in the U.S. high school application

For admissions officers, it is not enough to judge a student's comprehensive quality based on simple paperwork, and basically all the application process for studying abroad in American high schools requires an interview process.

The interview session is not only important but also delicate. Because the interview session comprehensively and intensively reflects the applicant's IQ, emotional intelligence, communication skills and language skills. No matter how well the other eight links are done, they are all paper, superficial, static, and stylized, while the interview is straightforward, deep, dynamic, and random.

The other parts are not good enough, but the interview is excellent and can make up for the others. On the contrary, the other links are well done, but if the interview is a mess, the other links will be greatly discolored. The interview teacher will even think that you have false elements in other links, or you are just a stereotyped, boring, and boring person who can only read and study, and do not have enough emotional intelligence.

In addition, Americans are more emotional, and if you do well in interviews, they will think that you are also good in other aspects, and they will like you so much that they will show it right away, which will play a very important role in the success of your application.

In addition, the interview is also a real test of your English proficiency. From the interviews we've experienced, frankly, it's hard to get a good impression of the teacher with the chinglish that Chinese students have learned, and it's even harder to make a good impression. One or two stuck, cold, or unanswered questions can lead to a mediocre or failed interview.

For children who apply for private high schools in the United States in China, private schools hope that you will have the opportunity to come to the United States for an interview in person, but you can also interview online through MSN or Skype, which is much less stressful than an on-site interview, because there is some buffering in time and space.

Interviews are a crucial part of the U.S. high school application, and there is a lot of uncertainty. However, there are also doorways and skills in interviews, so you can consider finding a special organization to do corresponding training. Students should also pay attention to practicing speaking more and communicating with native English speakers to be fully prepared for the actual interview.

It's quite important. Because my daughter is now in Grade 11 at St. Rafael High School, I didn't worry a lot when I first applied, so I still remember some of the homework I did at that time, especially the interviews (I accompanied my daughter to several interview trainings at the time).

High school application interviews are generally divided into on-site interviews, ** interviews, and ** interviews. The on-site interview generally takes about 1 hour, and the **and** interview generally takes half an hour. I remember when I first accompanied my daughter to study abroad in Huide to do interview counseling, a little boy in the same batch as her, English speaking is very good, the first interview counseling lasted nearly two hours, the tutor asked a question every time people can come up with a lot of people and come up, and even discuss with the application planner how to be better (I don't understand, or the planning teacher told me later), and my daughter is another scene, the girl's twisting and pinching is indeed shown by her to the fullest.

I don't need the teacher to say it, I think she will definitely not be able to pass the interview like this.

Later, I would accompany her every time I tutored, and learned some questions that are often asked in interviews from the teacher, and when I got home, I went to a mock interview for her alone, and if I didn't understand, I directly asked the teacher. Fortunately, after several tutoring, the daughter has also achieved fluent expression, in fact, for many slow-burning children, the interview is not difficult, as long as parents do not deliberately instill in their children how important the interview is, don't go to study abroad and so on, and help the child overcome some of the tension that should be at that age, most children can deal with it flexibly in the end.
