Description
Navigating the college admissions interview process can be daunting, but with the right preparation, you can walk into your interviews with confidence and poise. My College Admissions Interview Prep plan is designed to help you shine in every conversation, showcasing your unique strengths and story to admissions committees. As a former member of Columbia's student admission committee, I've interviewed over 20 students and know what it takes to make a memorable impression. Here's how we'll work together: - Initial Assessment & Strategy Session: We'll start by understanding your background, interests, and the schools you're targeting. Together, we'll identify key themes and stories that highlight your strengths and align with your aspirations. - 2 Mock Interviews: We'll conduct practice interviews tailored to the specific schools you're applying to. You'll gain experience answering common questions, articulating your motivations, and handling unexpected queries with ease. - Feedback & Improvement: After each mock interview, I'll provide detailed feedback on your performance, focusing on both content and delivery. We'll work on refining your answers, improving your body language, and ensuring your personality shines through. - Confidence Building: Beyond just practicing questions, we'll work on building your confidence and presence. I'll share techniques to manage nerves and help you develop a mindset that allows you to engage authentically and effectively. Throughout our sessions, I'll be your partner in this journey, offering support and guidance to ensure you're fully prepared for your interviews. My goal is to help you present yourself as a compelling candidate who stands out in the admissions process. Let's work together to make your college interviews a success and take a significant step toward your academic future.

Former Columbia Student Interviewer | Columbia undergrad + Wharton MBA
As a Columbia graduate and an incoming MBA candidate at The Wharton School I offer coaching for both undergraduate and MBA applicants. Over the past 6+ years I have successfully advised students who have gained admission into top schools such as Stanford, Yale, Princeton, Brown, UPenn, UC Berkeley, and USC. What I offer: Story-telling: A bad story can kill a great application and a great story could be what gets you into your dream school. I help prospective applicants craft a singular narrative that is authentic, compelling and intentional. Interview training: As a trained interviewer at Columbia I am able to give high quality mock interviews for any program International perspective: I did not go to high school in the US and there was no playbook for college admissions. I navigated the undergraduate and MBA application process on my own, and received admissions to several Ivy Leagues and top schools.
