Acceptance is an essay away!
The College Interview
Although many colleges do not require an interview, some colleges still encourage applicants to participate in a personal face-to-face interview.
Some interviews are with admissions officers while others may be scheduled with alumni of the colleges to which you are applying.
The interview is an excellent opportunity to learn more about a college and to allow the admissions officer to learn more about you.
Once you decide to schedule an interview, you should prepare carefully for it. The College Essay Whiz offers you the opportunity to practice in a “mock” interview and critique.
Take a look at the suggestions and practice questions.
Consider making an appointment with the College Essay Whiz before you do "the real thing."

Testimonials
I remember sitting down attempting to begin my college essay. As I wrote and re-wrote, I knew it was all wrong. I couldn’t find the right words to get my point across, and it was becoming all too overwhelming. After getting advice from another "expert," I felt as if it was no longer my essay; however, this all changed when I met with Mrs. Kashman. Everything sort of fell into place. After meeting with Mrs. Kashman, I felt that she really understood me and what I was trying to say in my essay. She told me that she wasn’t going to write the essay for me but that she was going to lead me in the right direction. She not only helped me with my grammar and sentence structure, but she also helped me to take what I thought was something impossible to put to words, and create something beautiful.
