Happy Thanksgiving

I'll be taking the rest of the week off to celebrate Thanksgiving---but, since I know that many of you will be finishing essays, prepping for college interviews, and in general otherwise doing college application stuff, I wanted to give you a recommended reading list of past posts for this blog.

Obviously, everything

I've written is CRITICAL to your successful interview. Just... some posts are probably more critical than others. To that end, here's a quick run-down of must-reads:

First: Why bother interviewing (aka "who cares?" post)

Second: What to expect in your college interview

Third: How to take advantage of your interview (being proactive)

Fourth: What to wear to your college interview (and what NOT to wear

Fifth: What you should ask your interviewer

Also, check out the current college interview questions (grouped by university) and my favorite questions, with a breakdown on how to answer each.

We'll go back to a normal posting schedule next week--complete with more current questions from other universities. Good luck! ----CJ
