We’ve covered the admissions process over years, suggesting plans, scripting timelines, and providing “how-to’s.”

Stoneleigh-Burnham School published a concise “5 Steps to a Better Interview!” to their blog.

It’s a good, quick planning guide if school interviews are part of your application season.

Although it shares much in common with our writings (Boarding School Interviews), I most like their #2 suggestion, “Have Something to Say.”

You will be asked something like, “tell me about yourself?” as part of an admission interview. It’s a softball question, but, as with every answer, some thought and planning can help you shine.
