Boston College / Interview
The Boston College interview
No admissions interview. Here is how it works and how to prepare.
No admissions interview
No interviews offered; Boston College does not conduct admissions interviews for undergraduates.
How to prepare for Boston College
- Visit campus or attend a virtual info session , demonstrated interest is not officially tracked, but engaging with admissions events helps you write a more specific 'Why BC' essay.
- Use the 'Eagle for a Discussion' program to chat with a current BC student; it is not evaluative but gives you authentic details to reference in your supplemental essay.
- Put your energy into the 400-word supplement: BC's one required essay is where personality and fit come through, compensating for the absence of an interview.
- Research BC's Jesuit identity and core curriculum; showing genuine understanding of the mission in your application carries weight that an interview would otherwise provide.
Practice before the real thing
Rehearse real admissions-interview questions and get an honest read on your answers, what an interviewer hears, where you sound generic, and what to sharpen. We coach you; we never script you.
