How to prepare for Seton Hall

Seton Hall interviews are low-stakes and informational for most applicants , treat it as a chance to demonstrate genuine interest in the university's Catholic Spiritan mission and specific programs, not just a resume review.
If you are on the waitlist and invited to interview, treat it seriously , completing the interview is strongly recommended and can meaningfully strengthen your position.
Use the interview to ask specific questions about programs, campus life, or opportunities that show you have done your homework on SHU beyond the rankings.
You can proactively request an interview through your assigned admissions counselor via the Find a Counselor page , doing so signals demonstrated interest, which Seton Hall weighs in its holistic review.

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.
