Hi, Foyl here. Are you a high school student whos feeling the pressure to get into a good college? A lot is riding on getting your college admission applications just right. The competition is stiff. Colleges are become more and more selective. For example, at my alma mater, Columbia University, in 1988, the acceptance rate was 65%. Last year, it was 6.9%. The trend holds across the board at selective colleges.

Clearly, you need an edge these days to get into your first-choice college. Youve probably also heard the advice that if theres an option to do an admission interview, you should. Why? Because its one more important piece of information to help the admission officers understand who you are as a student—and as a person.

But you may be worried. The college admission interview may be the first important interview of your adult life. To make matters worse, you may have also heard the advice that during the interview you should "just be yourself." Unfortunately, that advice can be misleading.
