How important is the student interview in the Flintridge Preparatory School admissions process, and how can my child prepare?

The admissions interview at Flintridge Prep is a crucial part of the admissions process. This serves as a way for admissions officers to get to your child beyond grades and test scores. They are interested in seeing your child’s personality, interests, and how they might fit into the school community. 

To prepare, encourage your child to practice speaking about their passions, academic interests, and extracurricular activities. They should be ready to talk about why they want to attend Flintridge Prep and what they hope to contribute. Encourage them to be themselves, to relax, and listen attentively. 

At Cardinal Education, we understand how important the admissions interview is. We can help your child prepare by conducting mock interviews, providing feedback on their communication skills, and helping them craft thoughtful responses to potential questions. We’ll work on building their confidence and helping them showcase their unique strengths.
