Summary
The college interview used to be a standard component of a student's application file, but that was when students were applying to one or two colleges. Today, more and more students are applying to five, 10 and frequently 12 or more colleges. Admissions offices simply don't have the manpower to conduct that many interviews. Some colleges, such as Wake Forest University, require an interview -- either on campus or via Skype. Many of the more selective colleges and universities offer an optional alumni interview in a student's hometown or nearby.
