Conn College / Interview
The Conn College interview
Optional interview, and it carries minor weight in the decision. Here is how it works and how to prepare.

How to prepare for Conn College
- Conn explicitly calls the interview a conversation about you and your interests , do not over-prepare a script; genuine curiosity about the college matters more than polished answers.
- If a live interview with a counselor is logistically difficult due to time zone, use the InitialView option (due Dec 1 for ED I, Jan 25 for ED II/RD) rather than skipping it entirely.
- The 60-90 second Glimpse video is a lower-stakes option if you are nervous about a full interview, but a live interview signals stronger interest.
- Scheduling an on-campus interview during a visit is the best way to combine demonstrated interest with the interview itself , Conn's small size means counselors notice who comes to campus.
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.
