GPA, GRE, and personal statements are considered the three major factors determining application success, but in the pandemic year of 2020, an increasing number of applicants have gradually realized that there is also a crucial element:
Interview
For many students, only the interview stands between them and the offer, yet this one step has become the hardest hurdle to overcome in the application season.
Some students have high grades but sadly get rejected;
Some with weaker backgrounds receive offers early;
Do not be puzzled, it is not unfair.
The difference lies in interview performance!

Why is the interview so important?
Observant students will notice that GPA, GRE, and personal statements cannot fully demonstrate each applicant's abilities!
GPA: Grading varies among different schools and professors.
GRE: Proxy testing is rampant, scores are inflated.
Personal statements: Hard to verify, often over-polished.
This is why more and more schools require interviews, because interviews allow schools to communicate face-to-face with students and directly understand the applicant's situation!
The interview has three major importance points:
1. Directly assess students' thinking and language abilities.
2. Confirm the authenticity of application materials through the interview.
3. Compared to standardized tests, interview questions better align with the school's requirements.
Currently: 80% of the top 30 U.S. universities have some form of interview requirement!

Why am I not scoring well in interviews?
Why has this so important interview become a pain point for many students, causing them to miss out on their dream schools?
Three fatal problems in graduate interviews
Pain point 1: No interview experience, don't know how to prepare.
Many school interviews ask about professional knowledge, such as analyzing macroeconomics in light of current hot topics; it's hard to perform impromptu without prior preparation.
Pain point 2: Different schools have different interview formats, and questions change every year.
Kira, Video Essay, live interview? Is there preparation time? Plus a variety of bizarre interview questions, questions from last year's interview experiences may not be asked this year. How to respond to all changes with a constant approach?
Pain point 3: Answers miss the point, can't understand the admissions officer's intent.
Many students think they said a lot, and their English is good, but still get rejected after the interview. This is because every interview question has underlying points to assess, and if you don't hit those points, you can't score.
In the special application period of the post-pandemic era, some schools have adjusted their interview mechanisms, and institutions in different countries and regions have different requirements. Especially for applicants applying to multiple countries and regions, it is really not easy to perform well!
