How important are college interviews in the admissions process?

College interviews can be a deciding factor at prestigious universities, as they provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate confidence, communication skills, and genuine interest in a school. While not every institution requires an interview, a strong performance can give ambitious students a competitive edge. At Cardinal Education, we offer personalized interview coaching where students participate in mock interviews to refine their talking points and learn to respond thoughtfully under pressure. We teach strategies for body language, tone, and storytelling that leave a positive impression on admissions officers. Families trust us because our white-glove coaching helps students stand out in every interaction.
